I bet McCain comes out with an "apology" within 1 hour.

[TeamJordan23]

I think he knows it could end the election for him.

[Higher Standard]

1. McCain doesn't do apologies.

He'll try to explain it away like he did with "the fundamentals of the economy are strong."

[Jackpine Radical]

2. He won't apologize.

[Marsala]

21. You mean, that one won't apologize. n/t

[Jackpine Radical]

28. No, the other one won't apologize.

:silly:

[LibraLiz1973]

3. You would be wrong. His posse has already been on Faux saying it wasn't a gaffe-

it is how they intend to refer to Obama.

[pnwmom]

18. Do they say why? n/t

[AspenRose]

4. His campaign's sent out a statement to Faux explaining what they meant

:eyes: but no apology

[Schulzz]

5. I don't think so.

But I hope Obama's camp will hit him on his behavior in both debates. That's not the behavior anybody wants from a president.

[Catshrink]

6. No way, no how, no apology.

It isn't in McGrumps constitutional make up.

[Occam Bandage]

He doesn't apologize. He'll double down.

7. He never apologizes.

[AlCzervik]

8. wrong.

[renie408]

9. Try again. His campaign has already sent out talking points 'explaining' 'that one' and it ain't

an apology.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

36. Do tell...

Link?

[vanbean]

Instead of Drill Baby Drill

their tag line should be Spin Baby Spin!!!

[Barack_America]

10. The fact that you would suggest that Senator McCain, a POW for 5 1/2 years, meant to insult...

Obama by saying, "that one" is preposterous.

(we'll hear this before we hear an apology)

[fishwax]

11. he'd sooner accuse the media and obama's supporters of "playing the race card"

and try to explain it away somehow. McCain knows how to do a lot of things (or so he says), but I'm not sure apologizing is one of them ...

[Frisbee]

12. That ain't happening!

[Median Democrat]

13. McCain-Speak - By "That One" He Was Referring The "Distinguished Gentleman Sitting Behind Me..."

Therefore, to take offense at that means that Obama is being thin skinned."

[jberryhill]

32. You know, if he did that on the Senate floor

They'd discipline him for a breach of decorum.

He's been in the Senate for a quarter century, and he damn well knows how to refer to a colleague Senator.

[W_HAMILTON]

14. Republicans don't apologize.

They'll do what Fox News is apparently doing for them, and basically make excuses for what he said.

[Ferret Annica]

15. That is hardly likely, he just doesn't do apologies.

[Union Thug]

16. Republicans don't apologize, no matter how wrong they are.

[Thegonagle]

24. Correct, because in order to apolozige, one must admit...

that he was wrong. And Republicans don't admit to being wrong.

[BlueIdaho]

17. It will make a great TV spot... That one Senator Mccain? His name is SENATOR Obama.

[theothersnippywshrub]

19. Not a chance. McCain and Palin are going to go really rabid dog ugly and negative now.

And it will be dangerous and destructive to the country.

[Blue Diadem]

20. Nah, that's not McCain's mavericky style.

His campaign is already complaining that it wasn't a town hall style debate. Just heard it on KO.

[sad sally]

22. Don't count on it. I think he went straight to bed - the man is not well

[kestrel91316]

23. You WILL lose that bet.

[Motown_Johnny]

25. not tonight, it is already way past his bed time

[Cha]

26. Did mccain EVER say Obama's name in the

debate tonight?

[msongs]

27. said it a fair number of times nt

[Cha]

30. Good..now we know he

knows what it is.

[minnesota_liberal]

29. Apology no, clarification yes

RepubliCons rarely apologize for anything. When they do, it's usually a non-apology such as, "I'm sorry if anyone was offended by my remark."

[vaberella]

33. You'll lose the bet. He won't apologize. n/t

[doc03]

34. He don't apologize, at best he may have one of

his spokesman do it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

35. Over an hour. Still waiting. Not holding my breath. . . nt

[No Elephants]

37. He is way too much of a jerk to admit doing the wrong thing or apologize. " Stay the course."
