COTTonLINE has been voicing disapproval of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for several years. It is interesting that, among home state Arizona voters, McCain is only popular with Democrats. Neither Republicans nor Independents like him, according to a CBS News poll.
What do we call being popular with the enemy? The word "treason" comes to mind, but doesn't quite fit. "Disloyalty" fits.
Whats more, nobody in Arizona likes Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) who is retiring: not Republicans, not Democrats, not Independents. What's going on in AZ, something crazy-making in the water?
A replacement for Flake will be elected this November. McCain seems too ill to finish out his term and may be replaced by his wife via a governor's appointment.
Hindsight, always superior, suggests it was a good thing McCain didn't beat Obama in 2008, bad as the latter turned out to be. Obama at least had the saving grace of being mostly stymied by a Republican Congress, after the disastrous first two of his eight years in office.
