McCain, Graham to Congress: 'Stay the course'

During the comments, talk turned briefly to whether McCain would support former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin - his running mate during the 2008 presidential election - in a bid for the White House in 2012.

McCain said it is all hypothetical at this point, as Palin has not officially announced her intention to seek the Republican nomination.

"I'm proud of Sarah Palin. I'm proud of the campaign that she ran and she invigorated our campaign," McCain said. "I think she will be a very formidable candidate if she decides to seek the nomination of the Republican Party."

The New York Daily News reports that Palin will begin her "One Nation" bus tour this weekend, an event that organizers are keeping cloaked in mystery.

Her political action committee is only revealing that she'll start in Washington and go up through New England to "educate and energize Americans about our nation's founding principles."

There is no mention on whether an announcement will be made on the tour.

"If she were the nominee of the Republican Party, I think she'd do what I didn't do, and that's beat Barack Obama," McCain said.

(suddenly, McCain loves Palin)

Like Darth Vader was drawn to Luke on behalf of the emperor...

[GoCards]

eww. Im guessing Meghan is making a call to ole dad now.

[gwilhelm56]

Invigorated your Campaign, McLAME?????

Sarah Saved you from the Embarassment of a MONDALE style LANDSLIDE!!!!

[PLD]

McCain loves Sarah because he know she will win if she ran for president and he wants a piece of the pie..He is looking for the VP position..but i really hope she will not consider him for even janitor..

[TomGuy]

she invigorated our campaign

And she almost managed to pull you across the finish line to a win, you old duff.

That is, until you suspended your campaign, rushed to Washington, and pushed to get that massive bail-out bill passed through Congress.

[Howie66]

Like Present Stroker, with “friends” like McCain, just who the hell needs enemies?

[NewHampshireDuo]

I only listen to McCain/Graham/et al to calibrate my stupidity meter.

[Mr. Jazzy]

Looks like McAmnesty has seen information from their internal polling! He KNOWS that Sara is the only reason that 2008 was as close as it was! If he had butt boy Graham as his running mate, WHICH HE WANTED, it would have been a fifty state sweep because the conservative base would have stayed home, just like in 2006 when the GOP lost the Congress.

GO MAMMA GRIZZLY!!!

[SaraJohnson]

Awwww...(”come over here so I can sink this knife in your back.”) She should have the back stabber searched for weapons before she lets him that close to her.

[arderkrag]

I wonder if this is why she ran as VP. “I support you now, you support me later.”

[Matchett-PI]

"She should have the back stabber searched for weapons before she lets him that close to her."

You'd better believe it. He'll find a reason NOT to "love her" before all is said and done. Just watch!

[LibertarianInExile]

Nobody seems to want to mention that she endorsed him for the Senate against Hayworth, which might have kept enough disgruntled conservatives in the fold to keep him in office instead of retiring his sorry butt.

Of course he loves Palin. She saved him from having to move back to Snottsdale and hang out with Meghan and her mommy 24/7.

[Doogle]

"...and if I acted like an adult Presidential candidate and attacked his sloth like existence in the Senate, I could have won"

[TomGuy]

If he had butt boy Graham as his running mate, WHICH HE WANTED,

Actually, he wanted his 'good friend from across the aisle' Lieberman as his VP, but his staff had better sense than he did and voided that.

[TexasCajun]

There is no-one more self-centered than MeCain !

[Slings and Arrows]

For their next trick, Lindsey will speak while McCain drinks a glass of water.

But she's "not running". Yeah......RRRIIIGGGHHHTTTT.

[TigersEye]

Actually he want Lieberman as his running mate. Imagine those numbers.

[grey_whiskers]

But she's "not running". Yeah......RRRIIIGGGHHHTTTT.

Technically, she ISN'T running. She's RIDING in the bus.

(As opposed to being thrown UNDER it by all the RINOs just one more time.)

Cheers!
