"To show just how sincere he was, he made an outlandish offer,'' Newsweek's Thomas reports. ''If McCain said yes he would expand the role of vice president to include secretary of Defense and the overall control of foreign policy. McCain exclaimed, 'You're out of your mind. I don't even know if it's constitutional, and it certainly wouldn't sell"
Unreal. UNFREAKING REAL. Of course its only AFTER THE ELECTION WE HEAR OF THIS. McCain clearly has ambitions and it looks like he made a deal w/ Bush. Prediction: McCain in 2008 as Rep nominee...
correction:Prediction: McCain in 2008 as Rep nominee... WANNBEE...
If one can get past the underhanded aspects of a kerry/ mccain ticket, can anyone imagine those two personalities in a room together for anything over 15 minutes w/o some kind of explosion? I can't. There isn't a room big enough to contain those two egos, IMO. It would have been like one of those rock band dissolutions only it would have erupted after the second campaign stop. And no way do I think that McCain would take the second slot on any ticket to start with.
BTW, a poster commented on another thread that reporters were given unfettered access to both campaigns but on the condition that they didn't report any of the inside stuff until after the election, so that might splain why we're only hearing about this stuff now.
McCain is a snake
