Crooks and Liars:
GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain appeared on Hardball yesterday with his 95 year old mother, Roberta. We all have family members who say or do things that embarrass us from time to time, but rarely does it happen on national television — this was one of those moments.
It’s obvious that Mrs. McCain is very proud of her son and she did a wonderful job touting his experience and service to our country. But when she was questioned about one of her son’s opponents, Mitt Romney, she wandered into strange territory, leaving Senator McCain scrambling into damage control mode;
Matthews: “…You don’t think Romney’s done much heavy lifting for America then?”
R. McCain: “No, I don’t. I think being Senator - uh a Congressman, uh, a Senator - whatever it was, a Governor
for four years. And as far as the Salt Lake City thing, he’s a Mormon and the Mormons of Salt Lake City caused that scandal and to clean that up, I - it’s, it’s not even again, it’s not a subject.”
J. McCain: “The views of my mother are not necessarily the views of mine.”
(nervous laughter from Sen. McCain and Matthews)

R. McCain: “Well that’s my opinion and you asked me.”

Well maybe McCain should have brought his wife. Now at 95 years old it's ok that she can't remember that Mitt was a Governor but two thumbs up for her she knew he was a Mormon. McCain will try anything to get a vote right now.
Maybe McCain is going after the real super elderly vote as well as the elderly vote....
Maybe McCain was hoping to get the vote of the people working the polls in Florida.
McCave shouldn't have brought his mother. I agree with Jackie. He should have brought Mrs. McCain although she is taking away his campaign purse.
