Chuck Hagel to McCain: Surge This

[djean111]

97. Thank you.

I am not saying Obama should have made even a token, not to be taken seriously, offer to McCain. Yes, an offer would most certainly been thrown back contemptuously, and referred to sneeringly. To have McCain in an Obama administration would certainly mean that McCain would spend most of his time undermining. In my opinion. To offer McCain a position would have been nuts.
To me, it seems that McCain is entrenched in such a reeking old boy and entitled Congressional culture that I wondered if he doesn't think an offer is his due - Obama has tapped Republicans, his former rival for the nomination, and Bush people - perhaps a token offer was McCain's expectation. Perhaps McCain is furious that his "career" is not going to ascend any higher at all. Done. Finished. A joke because of Palin - and I get the impression that even the Palin fans thought McCain was just a way to get Palin into the White House. I never got the impression that Palin's base saw her as reporting to McCain, if that makes any sense.
