A reader offers the various stages of grief:
Shock or Disbelief: How could this be, his campaign was DEAD last summer?
Denial: McCain cannot win, Mitt Romney is the stronger candidate. American want to round up all Mexicans and put them in concentration camps. He is against waterboarding, so he is not qualified to be a Republican.
Anger: I am sitting out this election or voting for Hillary! Just watch me do it!
Guilt: How did we ever let this happen? What did I do to allow the GOP to sink so low?
Depression: Pass me the liquor. I feel sick.
Bargaining: McCain better make things right with the base, he has to get approval from Rush, Hannity and then agree to have Fred Thompson as his running made to keep him in line (actually even I hope for that!).
Acceptance and Hope: Well, it is better to win the general than to face President Hillary in the White House for possibly two terms. GO MCCAIN!
