An Observation About McCain's Attitude Towards Palin


An interesting observation from my friend Cece to a comment made by John McCain about Sarah Palin during the last presidential debate:

I had a reaction to something in this last debate that I haven't heard from anyone else. When McCain was praising Palin and kept saying, "I'm so proud of her," I found it to be very paternalistic, as if he was speaking about his grown-up little girl. I thought it betrayed his inner knowledge that she's basically a weak candidate, that she needs special handling, and that she's under his protective wing. She's a brazen woman in many ways, but shows an immaturity in her hostile over-confidence, and he has to know that.
