Why would he?

I like this bit McCain said -

"That would sound like I am detracting from President-elect Obama's campaign. I don't want to do that... Nobody likes a sore loser."

The key to moving past the stinging defeat, he said, is to, "Get busy and move on. That's the best cure for it. I spent a period of time feeling sorry for myself. It's wonderful. It's one of the most enjoyable experiences that you can have.

"But the point is: You've got to move on...

Humm, to bad some of the repubs on this list can't seem to follow that advise.

Forgive the requote, MG:

This sort of thing is awfully humanizing...almost charming.

this will mark the beginning of "The Distancing" - back to McCain being McCain and the ability to speak his mind. It has to be rather freeing, even better than winning in a way.

Maybe if we respected McCain as a REPUBLICAN we would, but he left most conservatives and Republicans behind by giving up Republican beliefs and crossing the aisle too many times. I guess I feel about him as most Democrats do about Joe Leiberman. In fact, I like Joe better than McCain in that regard.

You have it backwards. McCain the legendary Maverick died with the South Carolina primary defeat by Rove & Co. back in 2000. But that's not the McCain you like. Since then he amassed a sizable Senate record voting the Bush Way, which normally it would seem you'd prefer.
