Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday he will not support Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R) in his Senate race if he runs as an Independent.
Crist, who helped McCain win Florida in the 2008 presidential GOP primary, has recently indicated he is mulling an Independent bid. McCain has backed Crist, but made it clear Tuesday that his endorsement will not stand if Crist is not the Republican candidate.
Asked if he will support Crist as an Independent, McCain told The Hill, "No."
Pressed further, McCain said, "I support Republicans."

McCain must be running for election this year because Crist
seems to be his favorite type of Government thug!

Seems he is following Cornyn and the NRSC. Staying within the party and not reaching across the aisle to anyone.
How long will this last? Till the election is my guess.
McCain needs to be relieved of his duties cause he is one (of many) who have forgotten the oath they took when going into office. McCain is an embarrassment and a definite RINO extraordinaire.

It will last only to the Primary in August. Then, win or lose, it goes back to reaching across the aisle to “my friends”.

Maybe we need to make McCain run for re-election annually - its almost like he’s pretending to be a conservative again when he has an election looming over his head!

This is a great image, but a more accurate image would have an elephant being mounted, since the rhinos always screw elephants. And the rhino would have an elephant mask on.

Thanks for the correction. In Texas we had our Primary already and next is the run-off.

Not really. Since McLame is up for election he can’t support Crist. But had this been a non-election year for McLame then I’m sure he would have backed Crist (even as a democrat).

Well, that’s not very maverick-y. What happened to the brave John McCain, man of principle? When a conservative challenger with real guiding principles (the interests of the American people) shows up and it’s “Yipe! Run for cover!” Cover indeed...

Right! McCain supports establishment Republicans who have lost touch with the roots of America. McCain deserves to lose big time.

McCain plays Arizonans for suckers. Why can’t everyone else see him for the phony, two faced, non-maverick that he is!
