98 always was an outstanding operating system IMHO, and Vista sucks like a Hoover. Glad to see he's getting reprogrammed.
Hahahaha, nicely put.

why are folks surprised at this?
One of the reasons I voted for him was because he always puts the country first.
I never expected him to do anything less, he would have made a great president.

I'm not surprised. I'm pleased - that McCain has returned to the way he has typically been (rather than how he WAS during much of the election). He is indeed putting his country first.

It's the GOP leadership that's not (nothing new there though) - hence McCain's criticism of them.

McCain pledges to work with Obama on tough issues - Yahoo! News
All of the details of this alleged involvement must be brought to light. If obama played no role in any of it, then he and his minions have nothing to fear. No attempts by McCain or anyone else to conveniently change the subject should be tolerated.

That was the McCain that I liked in 2000, not the one presented in 2008..

This is the type of crap that lost McCain the election in '08.

Elections aren't about the center, they're about energizing your base and getting out the vote. McCain did neither, and so he lost.

Voters don't want pale pastels, they want bold colors. Saying something with conviction, even if you change your mind in two days, is better than wavering on an issue.

And for the liberals here, this is the same McCain as during the Presidential campaign. The only difference is how he is being portrayed in the media. Now that the light bringer has been elected, the MSM is cooperating with his mantra of "unification."

Let me translate:

According to you voters want a polarized country that fails constantly like it has over the past 8 years. It's working great so far let's keep it up!
