Stop, stop, just stoppit!! I'm starting to believe Romney and his surrogates are moving into that Sharron Angle/Christine-the-Witch category! McCain angrily blasted a robust retort when asked if he didn't choose Romney because of his taxes. He yelled: "git off my lawn!" No just kidding--- he actually said this according to Politico:
"Asked why he chose not to go with Romney, McCain said: "Oh come on, because we thought that Sarah Palin was the better candidate. Why did we not take [Tim] Pawlenty, why did we not take any of the other 10 other people. Why didn’t I? Because we had a better candidate, the same way with all the others. ... Come on, why? That’s a stupid question."
Now, a true liberal, muckraker like me only looks for "money lines" when reading about cons and folks, this one is screaming off the page:
John McCain believes Sarah Palin was a better candidate than Mitt Romney!!
I'll leave it up to others to explain the context, timing and politic-speak.
Until then:
John McCain believes Sarah Palin was a better candidate than Mitt Romney!!
Wow...let the spin wars continue!!
