Not only would Bush not do it but neither would McCain

Bush-McCain ticket?

Why don't you just shoot me in the head!

Bush-Giuliani

[LS]

This is one of the silliest ideas I've ever heard. Regardless of how he VOTES, I think most conservatives see McCain as being far to the left of Rudy, and his name does not invoke notions of "balanced budgets." It would be a disaster: you would put a guy in the #2 spot who would be an articulate Paul O'Neill.

[jeremiah]

This seems to be a match, and why wouldn't McCain do this? He would then be in line for '08, which is what he dreams of doing. I personally don't like him, but he would work as a vote getter, and someone for the future.

[Always Right]

I think someone is smoking the tea-leaves instead of reading them...

[over3Owithabrain]

hold on now - is this from holdonnow?

A bad idea - not gonna happen

[Redbob]

Bush-McCain would be suicide for the GOP

and I do think a few in Washington realize that.

[OneTimeLurker]

2 reasons.

Bush hates McCain
McCain hates Bush

Not to mention, McCain is not the type to play second fiddle and not express his true opinion. Basically he is not VP material.

[dawn53]

Yeah, but I've been puzzled over his seemingly uncritical support of Bush lately.

Not in character at all, IMHO.

[sharktrager]

There is no way the party will nominate McCain, thus increasing his probability of winnjing the party's nomination for President in the future.

The only reason they tolerate McCain is that he could switch partyies and still hold his Senate seat. Not worth risking him getting the nomination.

[zook]

Actually I think this idea isn't so bad and may have some legs. McCain will attract independents and will become the natural front runner in 08. As it stands now, if Bush wins, there'll be no Republican front runner in 08.

Bush-Rice

[Jaysun]

Huh? McCain is a damned RINO! The last thing that we need is a further lurch to the left. Does anyone remember campaign finance reform? What about that kooky bill that was supposed to be the US version of the UN's Kyoto disaster? Give me a break! If Cheney can't make it to round two, bring in Rudy. McCain is a walking time bomb.

[livius]

I hope not.

McCain is the GOP version of Weasly Clark.

[clintonh8r]

As the girls of Danang used to say...."Nevuh hoppen, G.I."

[bobjam]

So what if Newsweek shows Bush slightly behind Kerry. Since when did Newsweek have a realistic poll? Even if it's true, we shouldn't be surprised. Kerry has spent the last year campiagning while Bush is just getting warmed up.

The Bush Administration announced after the 2002 election that Dick Cheney will be the VP candidate this year.

[OneTimeLurker]

He went nuts about the spending and other special interest programs supported by the Admin.

Have you SEEN this man lately?

I don't want to infer anything, but, this guy has medical problems of some kind (his left cheek looks like he's got a month's worth of 'chew' stored in it).
