Sen. John McCain said he hadn’t seen Sarah Palin’s widely-panned speech last month, but told CNN that it wasn’t a disqualifier if she wanted to run for president.
Said McCain: “If she did not give a good speech, she’s not the first politician that didn’t give a good speech from time to time, including me.”
He added Palin could still be an asset for the GOP in 2016, and said he’ll “absolutely” have her campaign with him as he seeks re-election in Arizona.
