Now this is surprising, and hopeful

Listen to what John McCain said on Fox, according to Sam Stein, writing on Huffington Post:

Reverting to the role of Republican foil that made him an unpopular figure for many conservatives, John McCain argued on Friday that historical circumstances should compel his GOP colleagues to work closely with Barack Obama.

"There are not many times in history," he said, "that a president has come to office with as many challenges as the president-elect does and that's incumbent then upon all of us to try and do all we can to work with him."

Appearing on Fox News for one of the few times since losing the election, McCain offered a supportive assessments of the president-elect's agenda. He acknowledged the need to pass a stimulus, but said he would reserve judgment until he saw the final package.

"All I can say to you is that I want to see the stimulus package I want to see what it does, I want to see what kind of provision it has in it," he told Neil Cavuto. "I think the president-elect is going to marshal public opinion. Right now his approval ratings and hopes of the American people are very high," he later added.

Of course, this is all talk at this point, and McCain gave himself plenty of wiggle room, but still.

You have to wonder, what would Sarah Palin say right now? We don't know, so we'll have to settle for Ann Coulter's comment on McCain's remarks:

"I don't think the Republicans should be taking advice from John McCain."
