What a whore.

Personally, I would love to see this happen! McLame is the ULTIMATE loose cannon. He would go out of control and sink Kerry's campaign faster than a scalded dog...:-)

I'll add this latest McCain media love fest to the non existent stack of articles praising "party maverick Zell Miller."

McCain being a heart beat away from anything besides retirement scares me.

Worthless...absolutely worthless

McCain stated on Hannity's show that Kerry's anti-war campaign was used to taunt him while he was imprisoned at the Hanoi Hilton. (I'm not sure that it was Hannity's show, but I think it was). I'm sure that the tape is available. That replay should kill this talk very quickly and it would kill two birds with one stone.

I disagree...this is not good. You know damn well once the liberal-media-whores get their hands on this they will run with it as fast as they can.

Not often you get to knock two of these guys out of the park in one go.
Seriously, this would be a challenge for Bush. At least on paper, Kerry holds the Democratic base, McCain brings over his McCainiacs, which is enough to tip the balance. And he only has to bring over, what, 538 votes to take it... ?
If Bush holds firm, though, and has a little good news between now and the end, and most especially if he has been sandbagging a little good news to pull out at the right time, he can win and finish both of these guys. McCain has proven himself to be a problematic figure politically, his campaign finance bill has been an assault on the first ammendment, and has only served to make campaign money harder to track. Hardly something to be proud of.
And at least some people are going to be offended by McCain's Sunday punch attack on Bush coming as it does from among his own. This is not the first case of a political enemy that Bush has treated with the utmost of respect replying with venom, and it isn't even the first time with McCain.
It isn't hard to imagine a ticket with two gargantuan egos like these coming apart at the rivets, in any case. McCain doesn't handle pressure well, and he doesn't handle being second banana well either. The partnership would not hold long, the question would be whether it could hold long enough to get them through to November.

McCain doesn't stand a chance. After going out and stumping for Bush, it'll look like an attempt at petty revenge for the pasting he got in the 2000 primaries. It'll also effectively kill any Senate power and clout that he currently wields. If McCain has any sense, he'd better start doing damage control immediately.

McCain is not a serious VP choice. But this is another ploy to implant a seed in some independents mind to think Kerry = independent.
To: Helms
I'm confused:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Sen. John Kerry was on this program and I asked him if he'd consider asking you to be his running mate . . . . Are you open to the idea?
MCCAIN: No. I'm a Republican. It's hard for me to imagine that a pro-life, free trading, defense and deficit hawk would be acceptable to the Democrat Party. It's always flattering to hear one's name mentioned but I do not intend to leave the Republican Party.
STEPHANOPOULOS: A lot of Democrats think this is a dream ticket. So, there's no chance you'll reconsider?
MCCAIN: I cannot envision a scenario, George. As I say, it's flattering. But I have no view where I could leave the Republican Party.
STEPHANOPOULOS: OK. You're not quite being General Sherman but I think you're clear. [End of Excerpt]

That McCain would even entertain the idea of running with a Liberal Democrat to unseat a Republican president, should
FINISH his career in the Republican Party.
Beware the RINOs.
