WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain isn't committing to supporting his vice presidential pick, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, if she runs for president in 2012.

McCain _ the GOP's presidential nominee last year _ says he wants to see who the other candidates are and what the situation might be.

The Arizona senator elevated Palin to the national stage with his surprise pick. He says he has great affection for Palin and her family. But he also cites three other governors _ Utah's John Huntsman, Louisiana's Bobby Jindal and Minnesota's Tim Pawlenty as potential candidates.

2. I'm not very familiar with Huntsman or Pawlenty, but I am certain

Bobby J meets the GOP's stupidity requirement to run for President - gotta git movin', Sarah - the race is on.....
You Betcha!

3. Oh dear, what does that say when your former running mate doesn't

automatically hop on the band wagon?

Bitterness on both sides of this broken love match I see.

4. where were you after the election last year

He told the press that he needed to see who else was running. He said there are other promising potential candidates.

5. I wanted to laugh but then the words "Joe Lieberman" came to mind.

Talk about your sucky VP picks.

6. Well at least he's optimistic he'll be breathing in 2012

[dysfunctional press]

7. four years is a long time.

even though mccain might have felt she was right for the job in 2008(he didn't)- it doesn't mean that she'd be the right person for 2012. things change. it's WAY too early for any party to consider candidates for 2012.

8. So many potential idiots, so little time..........

9. Republicans may be stupid but they are not stupid enough

to support Palin for president in 2012. I don't even think it will be Jindal. It will be someone who is competitive with Obama.

10. I think McCain supports Joe the deputy plumber and Newt.
