He explained:<blockquote class="templatequote" style="overflow: hidden; margin-top: 0px; color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">When the economic crisis broke, I found <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain" title="John McCain" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">John McCain</a> bouncing all over the place. In those first few crisis days, he was impetuous, inconsistent, and imprudent; ending up just plain weird. Having worked with Ronald Reagan for seven years, and been with him in his critical three summits with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Gorbachev" title="Mikhail Gorbachev" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Gorbachev</a>, I’ve concluded that that’s no way a president can act under pressure.Second is judgment. The most important decision John McCain made in his long campaign was deciding on a running mate.That decision showed appalling lack of judgment. Not only is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin" title="Sarah Palin" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Sarah Palin</a> not close to being acceptable in high office—I would not have hired her for even a mid-level post in the arms-control agency. But that selection contradicted McCain’s main two, and best two, themes for his campaign—Country First, and experience counts. Neither can he credibly claim, post-Palin pick.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Adelman#cite_note-NewYorker2-11" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[11]</a></blockquote>Soon after he authored a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Huffington_Post" title="The Huffington Post" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Huffington Post</a> article entitled Why a Staunch Conservative Like Me Endorsed Obama where he wrote, "Granted, McCain's views are closer to mine than Obama's. But I've learned over this Bush era to value competence along with ideology. Otherwise, our ideology gets discredited, as it has so disastrously over the past eight years". He added, "McCain's temperament—leading him to bizarre behavior during the week the economic crisis broke—and his judgment—leading him to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasilla,Alaska" title="Wasilla, Alaska" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Wasilla</a>—depressed me into thinking that "our guy" would be a(nother) lousy conservative president.
