Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has said he thinks Sarah Palin could defeat President Obama in next year’s presidential election, but he’s far from certain that she will actually jump into the race.

The GOP’s standard-bearer in 2008 also shrugged off his former running mate’s poor standing in many polls, saying she would have the opportunity to turn that around if she did make a bid for the White House.

“That’s what campaigns are all about,” McCain said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“I’ve never seen anyone as mercilessly and relentlessly attacked as I have seen Sarah Palin in the last couple of years,” the Arizona senator added. “But she also inspires great passion, particularly among the Republican faithful.”

[liberal N proud]

1. Is that the senile McCain speaking?

[underpants]

4. He was a guest on a Sunday morning talk show

he seems to be every week

[liberal N proud]

9. More than most for sure

[Botany]

2. me thinks McCain wants her to run because he knows she

..... will get her ass kicked all over the place.

[FreakinDJ]

12. they want her on the "Bully Pulpit"

Sarah will say any thing - truth has nothing to do with it and so marches on the RATpubliCON propaganda machine

[Andy823]

3. Yeah...

She was so much help in HIS race! :eyes:

McCain is simply to damned stubborn to admit that Palin is a monster that HE created and then turned it loose on America!

[n2doc]

5. Off his meds again n/t

[msongs]

6. Is he admitting he was the main drag on his own election ticket lol nt

[HipChick]

7. In what Universe...Palin still has a lot of skeleton's rolling around in the closet..

[xxqqqzme]

8. "...the Republican faithful...."

That has to be about the smallest percentage of voters in all of the US.

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. This from the old fool that gave Palin a national stage.

What else would we expect from him?

[SharksBreath]

11. Palin is going to run third party and take the Republican party

down with her.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

19. Um no. If she did that she would only have a tiny following, instead of all of Fox News watchers.

[southernyankeebelle]

13. McCain will have allot to answer for come judgement day. I have a feeling this loser will not end

up in heaven. The only way this bitch will beat Obama is like Bush beat Gore by cheating. We know republicans are very good at cheating and suppressing voter rights.

[Renew Deal]

14. McCain still thinks he can beat Obama.

:shrug:

[rurallib]

15. one of two things

1) since she has moved to Arizona, Johnny's daydreams of scoring with her have been revived. He is sending signals OR
2) He wants her to get whumped worse than he did.

[NorthCarolina]

16. He truly is senile, or delusional, or both. nt

[Stuart G]

17. McCain is a liar in that one sentence..

“I’ve never seen anyone as mercilessly and relentlessly attacked as I have seen Sarah Palin in the last couple of years,”..the Senator added...


Now, that is a lie.. Perhaps McCain should look at the way Obama was attacked by non other than Palin and her ilk. Those attacks were worse than anything Palin got. Sure, she is stupid, but that isn't colse to some of the crap the right wing gave to Obama.
I won't repeat it, but we all know what those attacks were about.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

33. Both McCain AND Palin spent a LOT of the past two years attacking Obama relentlessly

I don't know how he can even compare how Obama's been treated with how Palin's been treated during the past two years. :banghead: :eyes:

[WheelWalker]

18. McIdiot

[DCBob]

20. McSenile

[ProSense]

21. McCain is

still trying to justify why he selected Palin for his running mate.

[tnvoter]

22. mccain also thought he could win and look what happened

McCain is deluded. He can't yet accept that he picked an idiot to run with him.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

23. McWrongagain n/t

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

24. McCain picked her to be his running mate, what else can he say, really.

Even if he realized one or two weeks later what a shallow, venal pinhead she is, there's nothing he can do now except be vaguely positive about the idea of her being a candidate.

By picking her he basically was saying she was fit to be President. Saying she would be a bad candidate who can't win now would be conceding his idiocy in making that pick.

He may recognize it now, but he ain't gonna say it in public.

[HardWorkingDem]

25. I'm going to be blunt about McCain and his view toward this woman....

this is going to be sexist and probably a bit offensive, but I feel it is more true than anything about McCain and the right wing males who found this woman in the first place....

in the words of Bill Maher....all these types only want to *beep* her. At the core of their psychology is this simple fact. If not for that, these men would want nothing else to do with her.

The sad thing is there is ANY American out there that would wish this woman onto America (but really, she is the epitome of America - a good looking, created, shallow, attractive veneer that covers how ugly America really is)......

[Arkana]

26. John, here's a nickel's worth of free advice for ya:

Try not to defend the woman who lost you the campaign in 2008.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

27. Eh he would've lost it without her, but he was twice as lost with her.

If that makes any sense.

[Joe NoWay]

28. The Republican faithful can take! Sarah bus ride to nowhere!

They support Sarah with money. That all she wants.
Fools...

[Joe NoWay]

30. Ps.. Sarah Bus ride song...

We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

29. So, let me get this straight...

McSame couldn't beat Obama but Failin Palin can? That says more about John McCain than about Palin.

[avebury]

31. McCain is soooo Senile.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

32. Is he still around?

and we're supposed to believe him................why???? :shrug:

[Monk06]

34. Mc Cain chose Palin for his running mate in order to beat Obama. I think the guy is senile.

[colorado_ufo]

35. Maybe she would be gracious and allow McCain

to run as her VP.

I think he could see himself controlling her the way Cheney did Bush, and effectively be the president, after all.

[center rising]

36. I see John is back on his meds and not thinking straight

The only way Palin beats Obama is for the Republicans to cheat.

[Danmel]

37. He is just rationalizing

Can't admit he made a mistake- has to make his decision look valid, so he pumps her up. I imagine he actually despises her, but can't say so publically.

[AtomicKitten]

38. McCain? Is he still alive?

[Scruffy1]

39. Big news. Repuke toes party line.

the rule is never say anything bad about another PUKE. And of course its true, the rapture has just been rescheduled is all.

[Eagle Mall]

40. This is what you call senile.
