John McCain Declines To Endorse Sarah Palin For President
Edited on Tue Oct-26-10 08:46 AM by Ian David
WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain is calling Sarah Palin an "outstanding candidate" for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, but says it's too early to endorse her.

McCain told CBS's "The Early Show" Tuesday that "I don't think Sarah would want me to, before she's even able to make a decision" about running.

The Arizona Republican said "it's very early to start picking winners and losers." He said he still holds his 2008 running mate "in high regard" and said he's been amused by the former Alaska governor's confrontations with "the liberal media."

Palin has been active in the campaign, raising money, throwing her support behind a host of tea party-backed conservative Republicans and giving speeches around the country.

5. McCain wouldn't have even been a contender in 2008 if not for the "liberal media"
The press corps fawned over him non-stop in 2004 and afterwards because of his "maverick" image and they were prepared to continue doing so in 2008 even after he picked Palin for VP.

It was only after McCain stumbled when dealing with issues about the collapsing economy and Palin proved to be out of her depth that the media gradually turned away from him.
