McCain's nuts: he still thinks Palin was 'the better candidate' in 2008 for VP

[WI_DEM]

or else he really hates to admit he screwed up?

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) "flatly rejected" to Politico the assertion that he didn't pick Mitt Romney as his running mate in 2008 because of what he saw in his tax returns.

Said McCain: "Oh come on, because we thought that Sarah Palin was the better candidate. Why did we not take Pawlenty, why did we not take any of the other 10 other people. Why didn't I? Because we had a better candidate, the same way with all the others... Come on, why? That's a stupid question."

2. Have you considered another option?

Maybe he hates Romney.

11. Yeah, he hates Romney. Got pissed when Romney took Adelson money.

Also pissed about Citizens United - he worked with Feingold on Campaign Finance reform.

He did an interview on CNN where he trashed the Supreme Court over it, and said Adelson,s money to Romneyprobably included foreign money.

13. Of Course! What ever Mitch wants!!!

3. He will never admit his mistake.

Never.

4. He uses the past tense...the pick was for the excitement factor which Romney would have lacked...

and they were pandering to women because they knew they were getting killed in that demographic.

5. At least Republicans liked Palin

only Mitt Romney likes Mitt Romney and that's only because he pays him to like him.

6. I really dont care to think about McCain's nuts

7. McGrampy is telling the truth. His campaign was sinking like stone because

the RW xians were turned off. His last hope was to select a VP candidate that they wanted. The RW xian leaders met with him and a deal was made. McGrampy would "choose" Palin and they would flip the RW xian voting switch to ON. She delivered them, but drove away enough INDs to lose the election.

8. Has the word gone out that Repubs are supposed to sabotage the Romney campaign?

9. That doesn't say much for Romney, does it? n/t

10. That's pretty funny!

14. They can render you pretty stupid

over the years at Hotel Hanoi. I don't think we should allow people to run for office when they have been subjected to extreme torture for several years. They should be sent to the old folks home.
