I seriously doubt that McCain thinks like that. He probably just wanted to try and get the Republican base on board, get some of the Hillary vote, and maybe please his beautiful younger wife...
It seemed to me that the Left's overreaction really surprised him. After all, he is friendly with many Democratic Senators, he's been popular among left-leaning voters, and he has been for a very long time. This vitriol is a fairly new phenomena, at least this level of vitriol.
I think McCain is the genuine article - a little bit naive, really surprised by all the hatred.
I think you are seeing vitriol and hatred where it doesn't exist. I'm one of those Democrats you mentioned that McCain has been popular with, though his betrayal of his own principles in this campaign has caused me to lose a lot of respect for him.
What did you think was going to happen when he chose such a questionable running mate? I think the reaction of the "left" has been remarkably restrained. If this were a Democratic candidate Rush, O'Reilly, Rove, and everyone on Fox would be eating her alive.
The only overreaction I've seen is by people claiming any criticism of her is hatred because they know she is a poor choice but are grasping at straws to avoid admitting that.
