The strange thing about this is I don't know what is worse, how quickly the left turned on McCain or if they just forgot. Which is it?

Perhaps no one turned on McCain....and it was he who did the turning.
One only need to look at changing positions on Bush tax cuts, immigration, torture, abortion, etc in order to appease the base of the Republican party.
I guess you dont see anything unusual, or any character issues, about a candidate who condemned the vicious lies and attack tactics of his primary opponent one year then turning and hiring that same attack team for his next campaign.
And I must have missed when he was "loved by us folks on the left"...at least outside of the media.
