John McCain has prompted me to say the unthinkable.
The right man won in 2008.
. . . . .
Mac is back - back to his moral preening about how bipartisan he is, back to his reflexive demonization of his own party, back to his refusal to recognize any legitimate concerns raised by those who disagree with him. If we're going to have Democratic agenda enacted, better it be by a Democrat than a Republican obsessed with avoiding the "partisan" label in the White House.

Between the two, he might be right.
It really makes you wonder if, deep down, the guy sabatoged his own campaign.

The big regret is that Sarah Palin had to be plucked from Alaska far too soon and betrayed by the vile demons of McCain like Nicole Wallace.
I feel like I need to take a shower thinking back on the fact that I actually voted for the POS.
Why doesn’t he just put a D next to his name.
He’s pathetic.
Ya, right.
The right man didn’t win; but surely the right man lost.
I will lay a lot of blame on what is about to transpire directly on McCain’s efforts, his ego, his general incompetence and a generally idiotic mismanaged campaign. Palin was the single best thing he did and she single handedly kept the results from becoming a rout.
Exactly! Been thinking the exact same thing with the way his campaign was run and how he campaigned in states. I still remember the Town Hall when he got mad because someone asked him about being afraid of Obama. It seemed like he wanted the nomination but not the election.
Frankly, I am glad he didn't win after the comments that he has been making and his playing up to Hillary and ZERO. It was bad enough he was the nominee but I cannot fathom how he would have governed since he keeps agreeing with everything ZERO does.
She could've said, "No" to the vile demons.
Given his history of opportunism and his overweening ambition, I very much doubt it.
More likely, he blames conservatives for his defeat...and will do everything he can to punish us.
Sabotaged his own campaign, while perversely giving it what little life it had, by exploiting the appeal of Sarah Palin, far closer to real conservatism than he EVER was.
THere is only ONE upside to his campaign, and that is the charge that went through tens of millions when Sarah walked on dozens of stages in those few months, and presented herself to the nation at large. The look on her face when they stood on stage, conceding, unmistakably conveyed the feeling that she recognized she’d been used, and would perhaps not let THAT happen again.
To think I actually got on board with him trying to prevent the Hussein Heist of our country!
Without Sarah he would have lost all 57 states.
McCain had no fire in the belly. And the campaign was so poorly mismanaged — they should have had Sarah Palin out talking to We the People, not spending her time with barracudas like Katie Couric. Any 3rd grader would know that was the Enemy’s Camp.
I never thought I would say this, but I would rather have a real democrat senator from Arizona than this guy. I hope he loses in 2010 in either a primary or the general election. Better yet, I hope the democrats run hard against him in the general election.
McCain is demonstrating once again why he only received 37% of Republican votes in the primaries, and lukewarm support after he gained the RNC nomination by default (Thanks for nothing, Mikey Huckabee, I won’t forget).
And yep, for the future of the Republican Party, its best Obama won handily.
One thing to keep in mind over the next four years when listening to John McCain. He doesn’t accept responsiblity for the GOP base distrusting him. He doesn’t accept responsiblity for the two bad national campaigns he’s run, first in 2000 when he lost in the primaries, not this most recent attempt.
And he flat out lies. See what his reasoning was for voting against the Bush tax cuts at the time of the vote, compared to his rationalizing/mischaracterizing/LYING about it this past year.
Maverick? No folks, thats not what this man is.
Petulent, arrogant, out of touch with his own party’s base?
Yep.
And very very vengeful. For seven plus years after 2000, he took glee in his ‘revenge’ against the Party that rejected his nomination, the man that beat him for that nomination, and those groups he deemed most responsible for that failed run for the nomination.
both verbally, to the great joy of Chrissy Mathews time after time after time, to specific legislative efforts designed to damage and or destroy those Republican entities that back Bush over his candidacy.
The man hasn’t changed, folks. Its become very clear the source of the ‘bash Palin’ stuff came from HIM.
His daughter inadvertently confirmed it on Fox and Friends this week.
