As we learned in this campaign, he has none.

In a few days, or weeks, or months, the self-flagellation will begin. We know this about McCain. He gets his hand caught in the cookie jar (Keating Five, Confederate flag, 2008 campaign), and then he self-flagellates (campaign-finance reform, apologizing to reporters, TBD).

It will be amusing to see, but no one should forgive him. No one should let him live down this disgusting campaign.

He made his choices. And history should remember him for what he is: a principle-less, irresponsible, hate-mongering little man. Good riddence, and may he now slink away from the national scene in disgrace.
