McCain also picks UNC

Posted: Thursday, March 20, 2008 12:11 PM by Mark Murray

From MSNBC's Adam Verdugo
McCain has also released his NCAA brackets. His Final Four picks: UNC, Kansas, Memphis, and UConn.

His championship game is UNC vs. UConn, and -- like Obama did -- he has UNC winning the game.

Also worth noting: McCain picked 10-seed Arizona over 7-seed West Virginia in the first round. But he has his home state Wildcats losing to Duke in the second round.

Paul Miller: Or as bad as dunces believing that Iran never had anything to do with al Qaeda to begin with.
yes, this is such a news article. the man cannot tell the diffreence between sunni, shia and kurds but is able to forecast the ncaa winner. what liberal media????? this should have been headlines for days. is mccain too old to be president???????remember nbc's andrea(--) had proof reagan was senile when she visited the oval office and he was ranting about things that weren't even coherent.she refused to run with the story.sooo.. what liberal media????? mccain has been their golden boy from the beginning.they used cpr(critical press rescue) to revive his dying candidacy.

KEATING 5  KEATING 5    KEATING 5  KEATING 5, I know I shouldn't have to bring it up but since the media won't.....   what liberal media???? scarborough needs to follow carlson and give the show to mikka and willie.bring schuster back full time. the kid had guts!

obama has lost my vote.Wake up middle class! you do not sit in a church for 20 years if you know the messages of hate(I cannot change my skin color) is against your belief system. there are no excuses for it.whether he believes it or was just staying there for politics is irrelevant.no excuses for not walking away and I cant believe the media sat on this for so long. that was wrong. middle class voters would have had a whole different outlook in the primaries if these images of rev. wright had been seen. were they doing it deliberately to keep clinton from scoring higher points??? hmmmm? again what liberal media???????????
UCLA will win their 12th National Title this year thus maintaining the most NCAA titles won by any University.... GO BRUINS!
I knew I liked Obama!  Go Heels!
