I have to say, for all his faults and selling out his original maverick principles, I always thought that, at heart, McCain was basically a decent guy – which is to say, not the evil twisted piece of work that, say, Dick Cheney is. And based on this latest scenario, I think it's clear that however good his intentions were or are, McCain is now officially in over his head.
I think he never wanted it to come to this, and kept telling himself it wouldn't, that the ends justified the means and all he had to do was keep his mouth shut and kiss the right ass and make the right attacks and it would be fine, I mean, no one's really going to believe that Obama is an actual terrorist, right?
Now it's all slipping beyond his control and he sees now what he has to do, and now he's like the guy who just read the fine print on the contract he signed with the Devil. Even if somehow he wins, he may hate himself for it.
