McCain was very supportive and flattering of Sec. State Kerry...

61. I totally agree

McCain is a very flawed human being with flashes of conscience and honor - unfortunately usually AFTER he did something that showed neither. I thought that chapter in his book was intensely interesting as it made a good case for why Kerry would be a good President or SOS ... and showed why McCain was too unstable for either. (in 2006, when there was thought Kerry would run, I thought it would be terrific if - in the very very long shot - it was KerryMcCain, that the Kerry campaign would simply get copies of McCain's book out to support Kerry! )

I think their friendship, which is real, but as McCain pointed out he was not a friend who Kerry invited to his home. I think McCain recognizes exactly what you said, JK is a good man and he is more than competent enough. As to their political disagreements, ANYONE who agrees with Obama will not agree with McCain and visa versa. So, there really is no reason to object to him. (Lugar made the same point - that given how he ran the committee, there should be little objection. )
