Ouch

My friend JJ has been planning to vote for McCain. Don’t know if he’s still going to. His summation of St. John’s campaign:

“You go your whole life desperately clinging to this ‘sense of honor’ thing, and sure, sometimes you fail, in fact sometimes you fail miserably, but you’re pretty much as honorable as the next guy. Then the election comes up towards the end of your life and you do and say literally anything to get elected… AND you lose. If you win, you get a chance to reshape your legacy, people talk about the things a president did during his presidency. But when you lose, that’s all anyone’s ever going to remember about you: the guy who was a stone cold war hero in his youth and then turned into a two dollar whore to try to win an election. Then he died.”
