Wouldn't that then spell the end of his political career once the Kerry/McLame ticket loses?

If offered, I bet McPain takes it
It's a pact with the Devil. A VP does nothing and has no power. All it would do is help Kerry who, as we all know, is trouncing GWB in the polls (yeah, right).
McCain is strongly pro-life. I think militant Feminazis would go for Ralphie if McPain were it.
Kerry is also arrogant and doesn't want a maverick! He'll go for someone boring and safe like Gepfart.
He also has cancer. It shows one how histerical the Times has gotten.
worthless arizona ping
If he does pick McPain, Cheney can fake a heart attack and W. picks Zell Miller or Joe Lieberman!
Wouldn't that then spell the end of his political career once the Kerry/McLame ticket loses?
I believe so. He's up for re-election this year.
This article proves I should pay no attention to the musings of the media..McCain said Bush is his man, he will actively work for his reelection.
Yes...He says he is a Republican, will stay a Republican. (despite what others may say).
Ralph Peters , who is trashing Rumsfield proposes McCain or Zinni for Secy of Defense...His rant on Cavuto was terrible against Rumsfield(Army has been after Rumsfield for years)..Naturally he named no names of officers who want him out.
Remember the constant speculation about who would be Dubya's veep.
One week it's Whitman, then it's Pataki.......
Each time it was someone unacceptable to the conservative base, but then that was the purpose. Causing unrest and wariness in the party.
He could just as well represent New York as far as anyone could tell.
Ok, I am off my soapbox....
I think of this guy:
I can't imagine that McCain would want to be VP.
McCain has a history of personal friendship with the opposition. His loyalty to Morris Udall was legendary. McCain would visit Mo daily in the hospital after Mo was stricken with Parkinson's. It did not alter his voting pattern.
McCain is co-chair of Bush's campaign in Arizona. As senior Senator he is titular head of the Arizona Republican Party. To defect and run with a New England liberal would guarantee an Bush win in Arizona.
McCain would lose influence if he ran with Kerry and won. He would lose even more if he ran with Kerry and lost.
Why would he join with the party that just trashed his crowning achievement, CFR?
If Kerry/McCain won it would leave no line of succession in the Democratic Party and with that, no future.
How many votes would a pro-life, free trading maverick at the bottom of the ticket bring to the Democrats when the alternative is a pro-life, free trading Bush is at the top of the other ticket. How many Democrats would stay home?
I agree. McCain is No.2, a steaming dog pile of No.2!
I'll take that bet.
