LOL. No the entire "appeal" would be lost if he switched parties. That's the hook. A once in a lifetime "bi-partisan" presidential ticket. It would be at least a 2-month media orgasm. However, I still don't think it will happen due to both candidates being afflicted with cancer. It would inevitably become an issue in the final run up to the election. How is that for a Kerryesque prediction?

He could call himself a Republican but you would have every level of the Arizona party repudiating him. One headline a day over the summer. They came close before. He dislikes Bush enough to throw a spear in his direction every once in a while but would he run with the party that is making a mockery of his greatest achievement, CFR?

A national campaign would also bring to light some questionable mafia connections. Some that he doesn't even know about.
