I didn't see the handshake refusal but did see the "that one" reference
and thought it was abhorrent. I thought maybe he had a senior moment
and couldn't remember Obama's name (these days were all getting there).
But the 11 o'clock news even used that moment in clips of they showed.
McCain shouldn't be running. He just looked like a tired and grumpy old
man. To me it just says the RNC felt they couldn't win this election
and let McCain have his last hurrah. Otherwise they probably would have
run Romney. I think it's all downhill for the Republicans from here.
And damn well time for those scum.
