On the one hand, I am glad who blew up because it makes him look bad. On the other, doesn't this play well-- the story itself- with McCain, Mr. Maverick? Doesn't this help him with independents?
Maybe, maybe not. They didn't flock to Kerry, after all. Moreover, McCain needs both his base and independents in large numbers. It certainly hurts his standing with his base.
That's true
I don't care what he's like in his personal life. It's his public life that's important. This reminds me of those silly articles they did on Alito's wife crying during his confirmation because the mean Democrats were asking her husband tough questions. Nevermind the fact the questions weren't that tough, all I could think was- okay this man will make decisions that will affect millions of lives, and we are suppose to care about how his wife feels about the questions?
