McCain

I'm fascinated by how much I despise John McCain. I suppose it's possible that I never really cared for him, but in 2000, when he was running against W., he seemed likeable. Perhaps it was only by comparison.

I know that I was frequently disappointed in him over the last 8 years. He often spoke up vehemently about things he disagreed with, and vowed to fight. But then he always caved.

Throughout this campaign, though, I've been suprised to find out what a jerk he is. He's snide, condescending, and grumpy. And his celebrated integrity is nonexistent.

He's not a maverick. He's just a jerk.
