It must suck to be John McCain.
The monster he created that led to his own irrelevance is sucking up all the oxygen in all the media. He can’t escape the ditz blitz as Sarah pageant walks across the country, selling books and making shit up as she goes. McCain is quickly becoming the old guy that ran with Sarah Palin. Palin is the bad joke that an alarming number of Americans don't get but she has re-emerged like herpes once again. This has to be a new level torture for the former POW.

1. He would have lost anyway without Palin, but his selecting her really made his judgement
an issue with many independent voters.

4. Someone convinced him that having someone with ovaries would make him electable
they didn't expect that the voters wanted a brain with those ovaries too.

19. I think the GOP was geared up for a fight with Hillary and didn't want to rewrite their game plan

2. I hope an out-of-district teabagger runs against him in the primary.
It would be wonderful to see him helplessly flap his arms again while the fanatics he appealed to destroy his career.

6. I can't understand how he got as far
as he has all these years. I know he was a POW but that just isn't enough to get a seat in DC. Or shouldn't be. It takes a brain and a sense of patriotism. It takes a caring feeling. Someone has been putting words in his mouth for years and years. He needs a new puppet master and it isn't Sarah Palin.

7. he had one chance to be a maverick, and instead, he caved like a would-be knight

He'll always be a coulda, shoulda, woulda in the maverick department for letting a glorified news-anchor-turned-micro-politician become 2nd in line to a Presidential nominee of this country.

His patriotism should forever be questioned, as should Lieberman's, for saying he entirely supported it

15. He created a monster, all to try to suck up to a block of voters.
He knew it during the campaign too. He sucked Satan's cock and the country is paying the price.
