Who told McCain to announce Napalitano's nomination before Obama?

[Thrill]

Just said he called and congratulated her and said he would try to move her nomination through quickly. And even said he called to congratulate the Secretary of State of AZ on her getting ready to take over as Governor. Did Obama already make this official?

1. He misses the cameras.

He said nothing of any value today.

But then, that was always the case.

[Thrill]

2. He would drive Napolitano to Washington if he could

3. No official announcement yet of her nomination.

[bunnies]

4. No one. He's a maverick.

You betcha! :rofl:

5. WTF?? I see he's still acting without thinking, just like during the election.

Thank goodness he's not going to be president.

6. That was a WTF moment for me too.

I went, "wait a sec, how did I miss her announcement?"
McBomb is so excited to get her out of his way (she'd no doubt kick his ass in a senate race), he has the balls to pre-empt PE Obama's announcement.
Did he just cut Obama off at the knees and back him in a corner?
What an idiot.

7. Yep, he doesn't want her running against him in 2010.

I was wondering why the hell he was giving a press conference. Who the hell cares what he has to say at this point? And then it became clear: he just wanted to do what he could to get Janet out of the running for Senate against him. And to think, I used to believe McCain was a halfway honorble guy!

8. Rahmy is packing up the dead fish to ship to AZ even as we speak. NT

10. Rahmbo's going to send a little message to McSleeze?

Hope he enjoys sushi.

9. Old doddering fool

Imagine what rubbish he would be saying now if he were prez elect. We dodged a bullet folks.
