#4 I knew theis was not going to end well when I heard McCain supporting leftist eco-causes. He doesn't have to sink Sarah too. Man up, I know you can do it.

#7 I have worn a copper McCain "POW" bracelet all throught the campaign in a v-e-r-y hostile environment. If he wimps out on Ms. Palin, the only reason he wasn't doing a post-election "Mondale Dance", I shall return it to him......

#8 McCain is not the graceful old grandpa type. Hes about McCain and only McCain. What kind of primadona needs to keep working and getting press at 74 yrs old? What kind of primadona trys running for pres 3 times? What kind of primadona has to mutter "My Friends" in every other sentence.

Where were all the veteran organizations supporting McCain during the campaign? They know what he is made of and they stayed away from him.

#9 We have no idea what Mr. McCain will do when he sits down with Mr. Leno tonight.

But there's no doubt what a man of honor would do.

I think I know what a man of honor would do. I'd like to think a man of honor would have done it long before now.

#10 These leaks ... speak more to the character of Mr. McCain and the leakers than they do to Mrs. Palin. Amen. McCain would have had one less vote and a few less dollars if it hadn't been for Gov. Palin on the ticket.

#11 I was convinced a long time ago that John "Where's the camera" McCain was a publicity freak. Maybe his ego is bent because Sarah drew bigger crowds than McCain. He had to keep bringing her back for joint appearances so the contrast of his crowds to hers when she went solo didn't look so bad.

I got tired of hearing him say "reaching across the aisle" ad nauseum. How about a hand for someone on the same side of the aisle.

I hope I'm wrong and he'll do the right thing by Sarah. He's already left her twisting in the wind too long.

But I kept getting the feeling during the campaign that McCain knew he was toast and didn't want to say anything that could spoil his bipartisan image.

#12 He stood up for her in taping of the show....and complimented her...

#13 I think McCain threw the election for Obama.

And I also take back taking back all the stuff I used to say about him. Did more research . . .

Someone I know thinks he was on "chill pill" meds to calm his otherwise obnoxious and alarming temper. Probably true.

I agree with GolfBravo and Yosemite Sam 100%.

#14 And I mean, I think he threw the election for Obama ON PURPOSE.

Sarah Palin was the perfect dupe to serve as an archtype of conservativism to trash it for good. What a cad.
