John McCain became a P.O.W. this week, at the hands of his own Party. (New Yorker)
September 5, 2008
G.O.P. P.O.W.

John McCain became a P.O.W. this week, at the hands of his own Party. It was Sarah Palin’s Convention, not McCain’s....


...This time, though, McCain is collaborating with his captors. By picking Palin he knowingly guided his campaign well over hostile territory and then aimed its nose straight down....


...His capitulation to the latest group of hard-liners to take him prisoner is a lot harder to justify."


McCain has said he'll do anything, run over anyone, on his way to the top. I believe him.

2. For the Palin pick it points to posturing and patronizing for purely political points in pursuing ,
the presidency.
