McCain Mutiny Candidate Hates Americans "We'll see if there's a backlash among New Hampshire voters to the negativity soon enough," wrote Michelle Malkin about McCain. "McCain was positively awful on immigration. He has not, not, not learned his lesson," she continued. Townhall -- ABC -- January 6 "I Thought That Mitt Romney Won The debate."     Dick Morris is no friend of Mitt Romney, and his declaration of Romney as the "winner" tonight is the assessment that caught my eye.  That's called "an admission against interest," and it is very significant.  I think I know why.  Every American ought to respect John McCain's service, but it is very difficult to like him.  He went after Romney tonight like he went after John Cornyn  during the immigration debate.  To disagree with John McCain is to go on his enemies' list, especially when you are pointing out his genuine political vulnerability of the two McCain-Kennedy immigration bills, which many observers described as "amnesty."     ...John McCain seems incapable of not making politics personal and bitter.
