I'm on the treadmill tonight watching Fox news and before Britt Hume questioned their panel they showed a clip of McCain speaking about his lack of conservative support.
He said a few nothings and then stated it's time for conservatives to "calm down".... Easy for you to say John.
Charles Krauthammer had a great comment on this passage. To roughly paraphrase "McCain either has to learn a sense of humility or fake one and given his age, he's probably too old to learn."
Krauthammer mentioned that George Bush supports many of the same issues as McCain but has avoided conservative hatred because he doesn't just dismiss conservatives like a fly on his butt as McCain does.
McCain could score a lot of points with conservatives if he would just own his previous dismissals of conservatives.
But then again, if had that kind of humility in the first place he wouldn't be in this jam.
