....if he wanted to carry Florida:
McCain avows Crist's value By Adam C. Smith, Times Political Editor Published Friday, October 17, 2008 11:31 PM MELBOURNE — Sen. John McCain acknowledged in an exclusive interview Friday that he probably would be better positioned in must-win Florida if he had picked Gov. Charlie Crist as his running mate. The Republican presidential nominee expressed no regrets for choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and said Florida was sure to be a hard-fought state with almost any vice presidential pick — besides Crist. "Charlie, because he's so popular, he probably would have made a significant difference,'' McCain said in an interview with the St. Petersburg Times and Bay News 9. "I think this would have been a battleground state, except for obviously (with) a popular governor as Charlie Crist is,'' McCain said. *****"Look, this is a tough decision that we made with Sarah Palin. But I also saw Sarah Palin come down here and energize crowds in a way that's pretty remarkable, too."***** McCain has been hammering Sen. Barack Obama for his associations with the likes of 1960s radical William Ayers and the controversial community organizing group ACORN. But he declined in the interview to talk about his own relationship with Harry Sargeant, a top McCain fundraiser from Palm Beach County accused Thursday by the Democratic chairman of the U.S. House oversight committee of "war profiteering" and vastly overbilling the Defense Department for fuel deliveries in Iraq. "I have no idea what those charges are. We had to give back, as you know, some of the contributions that he raised,'' McCain said, referring to $50,000 in campaign contributions bundled by Sargeant. Questions were raised in August about whether the money came from people in California who were later reimbursed. "I don't know anything about those charges so I can't make a comment on any of that,'' McCain said of the latest allegations, strongly denied by Sargeant. "I don't know what they're talking about. But I'll get back to you if you like." The full McCain interview airs Sunday on Bay News 9's Political Connections show at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. |

Such a waste of your valuable time. There you go again, using your itty-bitty mental capabilities in an attempt to discern my purposes here. You're wrong. I'm not interested in "converting" anyone here to anything. No boat, right? No meaningful work, right? So...you're here because...? |
