*yawn* can’t believe people even entertain the possibility of Palin doing OTHERWISE...

First off, John McCain did something that far outweighs the accomplishments of most other Republicans serving in D.C. COMBINED: he introduced the world to Sarah Palin.

Knowing everything he did about Bristol being pregnant, about the risks of offending the establishment, etc...he STILL picked her! I don’t care what his true feelings are about how everything has turned out since—for all I know he can’t stand Palin. But the point is: HE PICKED HER and without him, we would not be experiencing the enormously crucial impact she’s having on the course of our nation today.

I believe, even if his campaign staff would have “handled things better,” the media would have still done everything possible to damage and tear her down. It’s not McCain’s fault. There were other forces at work that were simply beyond human control.

And from my perspective: anything that makes one of the most powerful people in the DC establishment more beholden to Palin is a good thing, but that’s just me talking. It’s not like Palin expects anything “in return” from McCain for her support. And for all I know, he won’t endorse her should she run. Who knows. Regardless, she is doing what she is because it is the right and honorable thing to do, not because she has something to gain.

Plus I think it’s ridiculous there is as much hatred on this board towards McCain. You would think he was Obama incarnate or something. Well despite all the disagreements I have with him, at least I can respect him. He’s not the sly, slick, tied-to-special-interests, flip flopper, that someone like ROMNEY is for example. Not to mention, McCain IS a war hero.

And McCain has a very consistent record on the pro-life matters.

AND, even though I’d vote for J.D. Hayworth, it’s not like I find him all that impressive.

“even though I’d vote for J.D. Hayworth, it’s not like I find him all that impressive.”

Agreed. I think Jim Robinson said he liked JD better than McCain and Palin better than both of them. That pretty well says it all.
