McCain: "I don't have a lot of friends in my party, much less the Democratic Party" (vote, campaign)

[magellan]

And yet he's going to bring people together? Anyone else catch that early on in the debate?

[poogie777]

Sure did. True Maverick that McCain. Goes against the popular spend spend spend....

But he also said he could work with people across the aisle.

Yeah. I laughed when he said that. "No one in either party likes me so I'm the one that can bring everyone together." What a hoot.

maybe even in the same talking point...

"Vote for me, everyone hates me"

That was a moment of clarity. You can even see it in his campaign - Palin energizes the base, and McCain sends them back into indifference. He is a bitter pill to swallow for most people in his party. He's probably their best chance this time around, though.

He's a loose cannon and very unpredictable. His comments change by the day.

Yep, totally caught it and I think a lot of other people did too.
