While all conservatives have their gripes with Senator McCain, he is a genuine class act:
On CNN’s State of the Union this morning, host Candy Crowley asked Senator John McCain what he thought of Sarah Palin’s recent firestorm of media attention — her new book, new reality show, and all the other publicity she has been receiving recently. When Crowley asked if McCain felt Palin might be divisive, he responded: “A guy named Ronald Reagan used to be viewed as divisive.”
“She’s doing a great job. I think she’s motivated our base,” McCain added. “She had a positive impact on the last election, and I’m proud of her.”
McCain is a man without fear, and thus even though he is in large measure “establishment” in his views, he’s not going to run and hide from something like the Palin phenomena. Its just part of politics, folks – and you have to be the biggest chicken poop in the world to think that in some way Palin must be “stopped”. Don’t stop her – battle her. She’s a big girl; she can take it – and may the better ideas and candidate win.
And, as it turns out, I think she’s got the better ideas; not entirely sure, yet, that she’s the better candidate. We shall see.
