    McCain was a solid opponent in 2000. By 2008 he was a whipped pup, done in by his own party and Rove's skullduggery. The humiliation of having to go back hat in hand and beg the nomination from the same party that had shivved him a few years before was too much; it made him the hot mess he is today.

      Yeah, I remember talking about the upcoming election back in 2008 with my dad. I think we were talking about people under 30 and my dad made a comment about most people that age don't know their *** from their elbow. I said half-joking, "Don't you have an issue that one of Obama's largest pools of support are people under 30?" He paused for a minute and eventually said, "You know, that's the first thing someone has said to make me question voting for him."

        I disagree. McCain, more than most politicians, hasn't changed much over the years, except getting older of course, but 2000 to 2008 isn't a massive difference. And I'm someone who is not a big fan of his. But I'll give him credit that he at least doesn't flip flop around on things like a lot of Dems do when the poll numbers change. McCain will give his opinion, whether it's popular or not.

          It's true, McCain doesn't flip flop, so long as you ignore when he does. Immigration. Climate change. Prisoner exchanges.

            McCain doesn't flip flop?

                This just isn't true. McCain is as slippery a politician as any out there. The only thing that makes him seem like a straight shooter is he has a personal anger management problem. Stories about McCain exploding on the Hill and ripping young staffers, women Members, capitol support staff could fill multiple volumes -- anybody he thinks he can bully he does; as soon as he's intimidated, he walks it back as a joke. He's not a maverick; he's just a jerk.

                  McCain is a shell of his former self. Seems to me he hasn't gotten over getting blown out in the 2008 election. He went from maverick to lap dog for the far right of his party. McCain 2000 to 2008 may have been the same person. McCain (R-Sunday Talk Shows) 2008-present is a joke politically.

                    His choice of Palin was his grace note. His "shoot from the gut" style burned him personally and not the country. We should be grateful.

                      This is exactly what sank McCain for me. I didn't always agree with him, but I sure thought of him as an honest straight-shooter. What I could never forgive was his crawling back between W's legs after the way Rove effed him over. That made him the most whipped pathetic politician I can remember. Jeez, Nixon had more pride when he crawled out of the White House and onto the helicopter.

                        This. He used to be an admirable politician. Not anymore.

                        I hope history remembers him for what he was prior to becoming whipped.

                          But he's always been that way. And I speak as someone who has had to have him represent me in Congress for a long time. Stories on this stuff have been around for many years. He's just gotten more attention for it in recent years.
