Give McCain Credit

Regardless of party affiliation you have to admire someone who can admit they made a mistake. John McCain has disassociated himself with Sarah Palin. Rather than make any attempt to keep up the illusion that Palin is anything but an airhead, McCain has made it pretty clear he accepts the fact that he made a terrible mistake picking Palin as a running mate. Asked on a talk show who he would endorse for president for 2012 McCain gave a long list of Republican canidates that did not include Palin. McCain even pointed out the fact he left Palin out. If McCain can admit a mistake why can't the rest of them admit the Bush failure and embrace change?
