Maybe, McCain simply lacked the necessary gravitas with his beltway "My Friend" cohorts. *** Are you referring to the politician formerly known as "the Maverick"? It is my belief that, despite a decade of trying to run for president, McCain not only lacked gravitas, but actually lacked the will to win. Were this not so, he would have taken the campaign to Obama, particularly with respect to the effects of the mortgage crisis. Obama himself was not innocent in that area, having worked to force banks to make the improvident loans. His party also resisted any efforts to rein in the home loan industry. But, McCain utterly refused to pursue this line of attack. Sometimes I actually wondered whether he himself voted for Obama. McCain certainly failed to do right by Palin, in my estimation. Yet, she campaigned for him and his recent Senate race, which tells you something about her. As David O. Selznick [of Gone With the Wind fame ] said, there are only two kinds of class: first-class and no class.
