All About McCain

scaeagles · 08-30-2008, 06:58 PM

I was actually thinking of this from another aspect. In 1996 Bob Dole was the republican nominee because no one wanted to run against Clinton. It could be that the school of thought is that McCain is going to lose so no one with future Presidential aspirations wishes to be on a losing ticket....whether that be Pawlenty, Romney, whomever. Instead of others being rejected BY McCain, perhaps the others rejected McCain. It actually may make sense since McCain had only met with Palin one time.

One of my favorite liberal thinkers made this point also.
