a voter apparently asked about his temper:
cnn: “If I had some problem as such has been described, my friends, I would not have been able to work with Joe Lieberman and Russ Feingold and Ted Kennedy and all the other members on the other side of the aisle,” McCain said, responding to a Republican voter who described McCain’s temper as “something of concern.”
The voter read McCain a quote from Republican Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi, who said in January that “the thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine.”
“He is erratic,” Cochran told the Boston Globe. “He is hotheaded. He loses his temper."
“I am familiar with the quote,” McCain cracked, as the questioner recounted Cochran’s comments.
McCain then confirmed he does get angry — about pork barrel spending.
