Joe Klein: I Said McCain Was "Honorable," But "I Was Wrong"

Time:

A few months ago, I wrote that John McCain was an honorable man and he would run an honorable campaign. I was wrong. I used to think, as David Ignatius does, that McCain's true voice was humble and moderate, but now I'm beginning to think his Senate colleagues may be right about his temperament. From what I can gather, Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran, a Republican, reflected the views of many of his colleagues earlier this year when he said:

"The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine...He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

The erratic nature of McCain's campaign seems to be confirming that judgment.

If I hear the O camp say one more time "McC is an honorable man running a dishonorable campaign," I will puke! There isn't anything honorable about Mickey C.

One thing I really appreciate about Obama is that he insists on emphasizing that he believes that McCain's heart is in the right place even if his policies and positions are not. Then he steps back and lets McCain show his true colors. Those colors appear to be green.

Nothing new here. Klein is wrong 99% of the time.

But you are wrong 100% of the time beginning here.
