McCain 2007 statement disqualifies Palin
Flashback: In 2007, McCain belittled mayors and governors:

I have had a strong and a long relationship on national security, I’ve been involved in every national crisis that this nation has faced since Beirut, I understand the issues, I understand and appreciate the enormity of the challenge we face from radical Islamic extremism.

I am prepared. I am prepared. I need no on-the-job training. I wasn’t a mayor for a short period of time. I wasn’t a governor for a short period of time.

6. I will go out on limb and predict that McCain will say that he never said that.
Probably not really going out on a limb since it appears that McCain no longer is able to make a truthful statement.
