GLENN: Well, okay. Let’s take them one by one. Tell me about John McCain, something that I don’t know.
JOE THE PLUMBER: Well, something you don’t know, actually it’s probably stuff that you’ve already guessed and has already been painted in the different media spotlights. Just, well, you know, the bailouts. When I was on the bus with him, I asked him a lot of questions about the bailout because most Americans did not want that to happen, yet he voted for it. At the same time he’s talking about how he’s going to make somebody famous if they even think about putting pork in the bill? We all know how much pork was in the $700 billion bailout package. And why did he vote for it? And I asked him pretty direct questions and some of the answers you guys are going to receive, you know, they appalled me, absolutely. You know, I was angry. In fact, I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him.
GLENN: Really?
JOE THE PLUMBER: Oh, yeah.
GLENN: Why didn’t you get off the bus?
JOE THE PLUMBER: Honestly because the thought of Barack Obama becoming President scares me even more…
I mean, you know, hopefully I wasn’t too big a proponent of that, this — what do you call it — tripping post, if you will. There isn’t somebody. Neither campaign put out a — no, I’m not going to speak for the Democrats but I mean, the Republicans didn’t put out a candidate for us to really vote for. It’s the lesser of two evils.

Joe's right. We didn't really want him and we're not sure how we got him. Some say it was certain state's primary election laws that allowed democrats to vote in the republican primary and vice versa. I don't know how much of that is true, but it seems likely that the repubs got sabotaged with a poor candidate.

not only was McCain a bad choice, he did a poor job of running.
All he did was go after the hard core right... you know the ones that would have voted GOP no matter what.
if he had went after the moderate vote, maybe, just maybe he had a chance.

Considering his position on illegal immigration, McCain Fiengold and the "gunshow loophole" I don't think he was going after ANY BODY. That worm threw the election, on the plus side , in 2012 when we run a GOOD candidate it will not be someone who already lost to B Ho. Bobby Jindal ?

OH HELL YEAH!
Now there is a real Republican!

So lets just say that overall he sucked.
he really is not too diffrent from Kerry in the last election.

Yes TAB he is different...McCain is a Liberal in a Conservative costume! Kerry is just a Liberal...
Wrong guy, wrong timing, bad taste from a dismally inept Bush administration. Give me Geoge W. against Gore and Kerry again and I'd vote for Bush every time, without question. I'd take an idiot with some conservative values over a socialist/marxist anytime...

We got McCain because the MSM buried any Conservative that was running against him (Fred Thompson) and refused to let his message out.The MSM chose who would be running on both tickets.

And that's why the NY Times endorsed McCain early on...

Hell of a lot closer than McCain, guess he really WAS the Manchurian Candidate.
