McCain on "The View"

John McCain had a contentious interview on "The View," in which Barbara Walters asks him about what exactly Sarah Palin intends to "reform" in Washington.

It's one of the harder hitting interviews that I have seen of the candidate recently, and even McCain supporter Elizabeth Hasselbeck tries to get in a less-than softball question.

McCain also defended his "lipstick on a pig" and "sex ed" ads, primarily by noting that campaigns are tough business.

It's obvious that the spoiled elitist members of the view, who have never sacrificed or contributed to America, like McCain has, are in the tank for Obama, while enjoying the benefits from others who have sacrificed and contributed. And while Sherri Shepherd practically offered to drop everything and stump for Mr. Obama ... isn't she the one who couldn't answer Whoopi, as to whether the earth was round or flat? Kudos to McCain for going into the lion's den with this useless group. No wonder they support an unqualified inexperienced candidate like Obama. It takes an empty suit to know one.
