Sorry John, I Hardly Knew Ye

I got an email today from the McCain campaign.  He is starting a PAC called Country First and wants me (and presumably anyone else who donated to his campaign) to become "charter members".

In the time since the 2008 presidential campaign ended I have had a chance to reflect on many things. And as I said on election night, I truly cannot adequately express how indebted I am to you, my entire campaign team and my running mate, Governor Sarah Palin.

The road was a difficult one from the outset. Yet, your faith, your support and friendship never wavered. Just as I have proudly served my country for more than half a century I am as committed as ever to helping see our mission through.

So to continue the movement, I have decided to launch a new grassroots organization called Country First.

Today, I'm asking you as a friend and supporter to renew your commitment to our common goals by becoming a Charter Member of Country First with an online contribution.

I donated to the campaign, but not until he announced his choice for Vice President. 

Sorry Senator, but it wasn't you I was supporting and frankly, I won't be contributing to your new PAC.  The only reason you got my money in the first place was because of Governor Palin.  Until that moment, I wasn't planning on sending you any money.  You were not exactly my first choice for the nomination. (or second or third choice for that matter!)

Good luck with that PAC thing.

Same here. I donated and voted Republican ONLY because of Sarah Palin. Up until he chose Sarah as his running mate, I was going to write in Duncan Hunter for president.

I still believe Fred Thompson would have been the best choice.
