Its about McCain Period

[Ichingcarpenter]

John McCain secured the GOP nomination in early March. In fact, on March 5, 2008, in a much heralded move, McCain arrived at the White House to be anointed by George Bush.

John McCain has had six months to pick his vice president. He's had longer to consider that choice than any other presidential candidate in history. Yet, the decision McCain made appears rushed, impulsive and not thoroughly vetted. The controversies swirling around Palin have less to do with her and more to do with McCain.

For the past few months, McCain and his campaign have been launching vicious attacks on Barack Obama -- challenging his patriotism and linking him to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Those attacks apparently sucked up all the McCain campaign's time and energy, because, it's obvious no one was thinking about the most important decision McCain would make during the campaign: naming someone to succeed him should the 72 year old McCain, who has had 4 bouts of cancer, die or be incapacitated in office.

As I noted this morning, even McCain-lover David Broder called McCain's move a "gamble." The words "reckless" and "impulsive" keep popping up as well.

Sarah Palin is providing a lot of fodder for reporters and bloggers (and late-night comedians). But, that's not her fault. It's all about McCain. This is the kind of president he would be: impulsive; reckless; overly political. McCain gambled all right, but in doing so, he showed us his hand. And it was empty.

3. It is exactly about McCain.......

and if we lose sight of that, we will help win him the nomination.

VIa the news media, currently, he's getting sympathy for going ahead and naming Ms. Palin, despite the unwed daughter stuff. Not good for us.

4. To me she is in total meltdown right now and a Jerry Springer guest

Investigative Journalist are digging into her right now so I'm just enjoying the tabloid
story of her now, sorta like watching a car wreck or a Jerry Spinger Show now.



It’s McCain who’s the risky choice in this election. He has consistently shown terrible judgment: on the mood of the nation, on what constitutes torture, on Iraq, on taxes and the economy...and now on who should be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Barack Obama selected one of the most qualified people available for the job of vice-president; John McCain picked one of the least qualified. Who really puts country ahead of politics?"

5. That's right. Six months to decide and THIS is his choice?!

8. He is now one for the History books - He's had the longest time to pick in US history

and then did not chose wisely.
