i wanted him to get the nom instead of bush back then. but when he finally did get that nom, he blew it with his selection of running mate.

he would have lost with jesus as his running mate in 2008. it was the economy. obama/palin would have beat mccain/biden.

That's why he would not of been a good President. The guy always needs do-overs. This is not a brilliant decision maker. He was over 70 years old. His V.P. choice was not of minor importance. He fkd up.

McCain wanted Leibermann, and Liebermann was willing to do it and be vetted. They even figured they could get him through the GOP convention with a walkout only of part of the ultra-con base.

Lindsey Graham (McCain's good friend) inadvertently put the kabosh on that one at a speaking event, leaking that a "pro-choice" candidate could be considered. Remember that public firestorm of speculation on that one? Leib was out.

So a week before the GOP Convention McCain had no VP pick. Palin was an unvetted hail mary "gamechanger" attempt to suck up the base.
