MCCAIN: "I can`t Promise to support Palin for President" :)

[The Coach]

Yeah.  I'll put that is in the same credibility category as "There is proof that Obama is a muslim, and we'll see it in October".  Your prediction there didn't turn out either.

FOX news smeared her following the campaign.  The powers that be - and most americans - would prefer a QUALIFIED candidate from the repub side.  Get newt or someone else with some intelligence.  Palin is hot, but a leader she's not.

No they didn't, they reported what was told to them. Then they found out the truth.

No they didn't, they reported what was told to them. Then they found out the truth.

Okay.  So the McCain campaign lied to them?  Is that the story you're going to run with?

The info came directly from the senior mccain campaign officials throughout the campaign.  They had to keep it off the record until november 5th.

So, either it's a vast right-wing conspiracy on the part of Mccain's advisers and FOX Media lasting 3 months, or, Palin isn't that bright.

Which do you think it is, Coach?







By the way, there's nothing wrong with admitting palin is not the sharpest one around.  There are many good republicans who could whoop on Obama in 2012.  She just isn't a high-caliber mind you want running the country.  She's an angry cheerleader - not a great thinker.  Give me Newt, jeb, or Romney any day.  Her, no thanks.

JOE - do you believe palin is equaly qualified as newt, jeb, or romney?

i can only think palin is as dumb as the average redneck right?

McCain: I can't promise to support Palin for president



     
(CNN) -- Sen. John McCain said Sunday he would not necessarily support his former running mate if she chose to run for president.



 Speaking to ABC's "This Week," McCain was asked whether Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin could count on his support.

"I can't say something like that. We've got some great other young governors. I think you're going to see the governors assume a greater leadership role in our Republican Party," he said.

He then mentioned governors Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and Jon Huntsman of Utah.

McCain said he has "the greatest appreciation for Gov. Palin and her family, and it was a great joy to know them."

"She invigorated our campaign" against Barack Obama for the presidency, he said.

McCain was pressed on why he can't promise support for the woman who, just months ago, he named as the second best person to lead the nation.


"Have no doubt of my admiration and respect for her and my view of her viability, but at this stage, again ... my corpse is still warm, you know?" he replied.

In his first Sunday political TV appearance since November 4, McCain also promised to work to build consensus in tackling America's challenges, and criticized his own party for its latest attack on Obama.

McCain rejected complaints from the Republican National Committee that Obama has not been transparent about his contacts with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

"I think that the Obama campaign should and will give all information necessary," McCain told ABC's "This Week."

"You know, in all due respect to the Republican National Committee and anybody -- right now, I think we should try to be working constructively together, not only on an issue such as this, but on the economy, stimulus package, reforms that are necessary."

McCain's answer came in response to a question about comments from RNC Chairman Mike Duncan. The RNC also released an Internet ad last week, titled "Questions Remain," suggesting Obama is failing to provide important information about potential links between his associates and Blagojevich.

Blagojevich was arrested Tuesday and charged with trying to trade Obama's Senate seat for campaign contributions and other favors.

"I don't know all the details of the relationship between President-elect Obama's campaign or his people and the governor of Illinois," McCain told ABC. "But I have some confidence that all the information will come out. It always does, it seems to me."

McCain said he, like Obama and many other lawmakers, believes Blagojevich should resign.

Despite the heated nature of the race and attacks both former candidates lobbed at each other, McCain emphasized that he plans to focus on pushing lawmakers past partisan politics.

"I think my job is, of course, to be a part of, and hopefully exert some leadership, in the loyal opposition. But I emphasize the word loyal," McCain said.

"We haven't seen economic times like this in my lifetime. We haven't seen challenges abroad at the level that we are experiencing, certainly since the end of the Cold War, and you could argue in some respects that they're certainly more complex, many of these challenges. So let's have our first priority where we can work together...

"Will there be areas of disagreement? Of course. We are different parties and different philosophy. But the nation wants us to unite and work together."

McCain said he wouldn't comment on whether he thought he had a good chance of winning the presidency, given the Bush administration and the GOP were perceived to be responsible for the economy's problems. McCain said he would "leave that question" for others "to make that kind of judgment."

He pointed out that his poll numbers dropped along with the Dow.

"That would sound like I am detracting from President-elect Obama's campaign. I don't want to do that... Nobody likes a sore loser."

The key to moving past the stinging defeat, he said, is to, "Get busy and move on. That's the best cure for it. I spent a period of time feeling sorry for myself. It's wonderful. It's one of the most enjoyable experiences that you can have.

"But the point is: You've got to move on... I'm still a senator from the state of Arizona. I still have the privilege and honor of serving this country, which I've done all my life, and it's a great honor to do so."
