Did he not say recently that Sarah Palin was the second most qualified person to be President of the United States?
Former GOP presidential nominee John McCain on Thursday named fellow Arizona Senator Jon Kyl as a potential 2012 presidential candidate.
Asked on CNN’s “Larry King Live” if he plans to support Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in the Republican presidential primaries, McCain said it would be “improper” to commit now because “I don’t know who’s running, for one thing, because, for example, my friend Jon Kyl, my colleague from Arizona.”
McCain then trailed off, appearing as if he had accidentally floated Kyl’s name.
When King followed up to ask if Kyl, the Senate’s minority whip, plans to run, McCain responded: “Now, wait a minute. Jon would be astonished to hear that I said that.”
“He’s a great leader for the Republicans in the Senate,” he said. “But let me just say, I don’t know who’s running and all that, but I will always be grateful to Sarah Palin for her friendship and her strong principles and leadership.”
