Senator John McCain was on Meet the Press on Sunday, and host David Gregory asked him about Sarah Palin’s possible candidacy for President in 2012.
McCain would not state that he would back his Vice Presidential running mate, stating that it all depended on who else was in the race. He said he had admiration, love and respect for Palin, but that there were many qualified candidates including Jon Huntsman, Bobby Jindal, and Tim Pawlenty, and that he would have to wait and see.
This was obviously not a ringing endorsement! It makes one tremble at the thought that had McCain won the Presidency and not finished his term, that Sarah would have been President. I think it is clear that McCain has had second thoughts about the capabilities of his running mate!Â
