I have alwaays thought that the media pushed McCain because they had a whole bunch of dirt on him, and were just waiting for him to get nominated so that they could use it.

Ratner's comment this morning (I heard it myself) confirms my opinion. Ratner is anti-war, sothere is no reason for her to loooove McCain except that he would be a sitting duck if he got the nomination.

Has anyone manufactured a McCain doll which runs from side to side and spins at midpoint?

Just checked the FEC's website. An Ellen Ratner's given plenty to The Swimmer, but not a dime so far to McKeating...er, McCain. Gonna put your money where your mouth is, Ellen?

"McCain except that he would be a sitting duck if he got the nomination."

How can he be sitting if he is already dead.

I have not seen more the one out of every 100 Freepers that would vote for his sorry ass.

Most likely, the Dems have something provided by their friends in the people's republic of China that shows McCain dishing out the goods to his captors in North Vietnam.

They have held onto it because it works better as a lever to undermine the Republican party than simply beating him out of his Senate seat.

I had never thought of the reason you suggest for their love of him. I always figgered that since he has precious little support from the pubby base, ie., people like you and me, they love to rub him in our face. Chris Matthews sure seems to love him too, and I always thought it was genuine.

My condolences on the loss of your mother. She is in God's embrace now.
