(CNN) — John McCain’s chief media adviser said Tuesday he is stepping down rather than campaign against Barack Obama. Mark McKinnon said last year that he would leave McCain’s campaign after the primary season if the Arizona senator were to run against Obama. The Illinois senator is not the Democratic nominee, but he has accumulated a significant lead in the number of delegates required to claim the nomination. In a 2007 interview with Cox News, McKinnon said he would vote for McCain, but "I just don't want to work against an Obama candidacy." He added that if Obama were to reach the White House, it "would send a great message to the country and the world." The McCain campaign says McKinnon will remain a “major supporter” of the McCain’s presidential bid.

I bet the McCain campaign doesn't repeat that.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
Probably right on that one. Though, looking at the You Tube offerings where McCain denies documented quotes by him -- probably due to age related forgetfulness -- I be he unintentionally repeats himself all the time.
It wouldn't surprise me if McChurian chose the basset hound as his Veep.
