Regular readers of The Mole Hole know that I have had many issues with John McCain over the course of this election cycle, and actually, even years before that. While he got my vote for being light-years closer to my values and beliefs than the socialist party, he just continues to irritate, even now.
The latest rub with me is this "scandal" surrounding his running mate. It started with the wardrobe expense, then the "advisors" within the campaign who supposedly trash her privately and publicly now, and so forth. And unless I'm missing a whole lot, I've seen maddeningly little from McCain coming to her defense. Have I missed this somehow? I hope so. Because as bad as he was defeated, it could have been worse without her.
I also find it hard to believe because he was bold enough to choose her in the first place. And for that he definitely got my respect. But he seems to have gone underground since his concession speech and he needs to reappear. In fact, every single Republican needs to start right now, to support and promote Sarah Palin, because unless a conservative "messiah" (sorry!) appears on the scene shortly, she might just be our best chance for 2012.
