I'll blame McCain for many things but never that. Reagan himself couldn't have won in 2008 after Dubya tarnished the GOP brand as thoroughly as he did.
This being said, McCain could not have ran a more lackluster and uninspired campaign, the objective of which was seemingly not to defeat his Democratic opponent, but to defeat his pick for Vice President.
That’s debatable. McCain was running even with him until the market tanked. Maybe he would have lost anyway, but his margin of loss probably took some senators along with him, paving the way for this Husseincare quagmire.
Precisely. McCain can't tolerate anyone whose star burns brighter and clearer than his, which happens to be a great many people.
You couldn’t be anymore right on the money. The GOP saw an up and coming star and they sought to bury her. Anyone with half a brain and one eye could see McCain threw that race.
I wish McCain the best in his struggle with cancer. I still however wish he would have left politics many many years ago. These addicts to power have nearly destroyed this once great Republic. I will not pretend otherwise just because someone is facing the same problems we mere subjects face with much less fan fair and much lesser access to care.
We should be praying for his salvation. Death will have it’s day and soon.
