You tell a lot by the way a man treats his friends.
John McCain used his as attack dogs by lying straight to their faces and then the moment that were no longer useful he discarded them.
Let's be truthful, John McCain doesn't like the way his campaign is being run. He was losing because his ideas were wrong and so he let the Rovian people come in and manage him. He campaign now attacks to make this the race about personalities. He is now the managed candidate. He wanted to pick Lieberman, that's were his instinct was telling him to go. And now he has a VP who he doesn't know.
Is this the way John McCain will pick the leaders to run our government?
"Hey Karl, I want this guy to run the state department because I trust him and like him and he's my friend."
"No John, you don't make decisions here. You need to pick this the one choice I give you. Reinforce your political message: Anything to win. I have no other principles other then winning."
