Does John McCain Feel Guilty for Choosing Sarah Palin?

Posted July 1, 2009

Writes Todd Purdum: "As Palin has piled misstep on top of misstep, the senior members of McCain's campaign team have ... made it clear that they suffer a kind of survivor's guilt: they can't quite believe that ... they worked their tails off to try to elect as vice president of the United States someone who, by mid-October, they believed for certain was nowhere near ready for the job, and might never be." If John McCain's senior advisers feel guilty over choosing Palin, does John McCain as well? If he does feel guilty, how would he express his regrets? Has he expressed regret already? Post your thoughts.

YOU should feel guilty!

Anybody that would vote for Palin needs to strap on some diapers and get some homecare because you're about three IQ points shy of forgetting how to walk. Give your dim head a shake! Seriously!!

I mean, wasn't voting for Bush embarrassing enough for you? Everybody would be laughing at you right now if the whole thing wasn't so damn tragic.

C'mon, you need to start thinking critically. Maybe even pick up a book or two. Eat more fish. Stop huffing gas. AND STOP WATCHING FOX NEWS!

Sarah Palin

1. Sarah Palin is all bouffant and no caribou.

2. Since when is the work erhic in the USA, "I quit therefor I serve?"

Did McCain regret choosing Palin

It seems like he has distanced himself from her, but I bet his campaign would have been in the dumper without her. Obama had the money to hire all those attorneys to do that smear job, his true self will come out before his term is up. Americans that adore him will wake up from their slumber when they loose it all. Sarah Palin should have toughed it out and served her full term as Governor, she abandoned her post. I'd rather have her than Obama any day. Glad to see a black family in the white house, but not those AntiAmerican racists.
