The greatest question of this campaign for me will be who is the real John Mccain?

Posted by Mel Profit (aka Mel Profit) Nov 4 '08, 21:45

is it the one I saw twice in person in or is it the person who ran this campaign?

John McCain is responsible for the last bit of idealism in me being removed.

the rolling stone article answered it well enough for me -- nm - pigby Nov 4, 21:48 1
- Yeah, it was definitely slanted, but I'd have a tough time going back because it re-enforced underlying feelings. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 4, 21:55

I loved his speech tonight, FWIW. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 21:46 12
- I can't reconcile it with the last 6 months... - Mel Profit Nov 4, 21:47 7
  - He did what he thought was needed to win. Betraying his own beliefs is what bit him in the end. - David Nov 4, 21:50 2
    - which showed him to be soulless. - Mel Profit Nov 4, 21:58 1
      - In the Firefly vernacular, it's a Shan Yu revelation. - David Nov 4, 22:01
  - He's not campaigning anymore. I believe I saw more of the real McCain tonight than at any point in the campaign. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 21:48 3
    - the problem with that is... - Mel Profit Nov 4, 21:53 2
      - I think at some point (a long way down the road) we'll get an honest account from McCain on his feelings about the campaign. - TFox Nov 4, 21:55
      - Word, Mel and I have been on the exact same page on this for the past 2+ years. (nm) - musubi Nov 4, 21:55
- He did very well. I do kind of wish he had verbally berated the boo-ers, but then again - it would have interfered with the class of his speech. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 21:47 3
  - The boo-ers were to be expected, and he hushed them quickly with what he was saying. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 21:49 1
    - Exactly. Class. He brought a bit of it to the joint. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 21:54
  - "You know what? Fuck all y'all." *walks off stage* -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 21:49
