New McCain Deal Protects Democrat Electoral Rights
Scrapple Face ^ | 5/25/05 | Scott Ott

Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, who earlier this week brokered a deal over judicial nominees to protect the rights of Democrats in the Senate, today announced a compromise with DNC Chairman Howard Dean which would effectively give Democrats the White House for three of the next five presidential terms.

"The purpose of elections is to protect the rights of the minority," said Mr. McCain, "So, we've agreed to block the nomination of conservatives to the Republican presidential ticket and to lead our more progressive constituents to vote Democrat in 2008, 2012 and 2016."

Mr. Dean, whose party has won three of the last 11 presidential races, hailed the compromise as a "great stride toward restoring civility and fairness to political life in America."

"I don't know why people call John McCain a 'maverick'," Mr. Dean added. "From my perspective as DNC chairman, he's not bucking party leadership. He's a solid, party-line guy."

Dean is a few bricks shy of having a full load.
