No for several reasons.

1)By the time McCain 'recants' on his heresy, and stands up for Bush's SC nominee, Lincoln Chafee will see close poll numbers and bolt instead. The Dems have about 6 or so more RINOs to tap for judicial nomination fights. McCain was only 1 weapon in their arsenal.

2)McCain's Climate Stewardship Act has permanently destroyed any reputation he may have had as a friend of free enterprise. A fairly large plurality of GOP voters still support this economic system and are unafraid to be called 'Free Traitors' for doing so.

3)McCain-Finegold has been used to silence a large number of conservative activists who remember this well. They see McPain as having handed MoveOn.Org a monopoly on political speech and they're mad as heck.

4)McCain's infamous icy condescension and contempt for religious conservatives has earned him a life's worth of unrelenting hatred from evangelical conservatives. A mass endorsement of Hillary! by these people would send Big Jawn a message that the GOP ain't no plantation and he has no right to inherit the manor even if it was.

McCain is done. You can stick a fork in that turkey.

Re # 1..au contraire, McCain may well be the one person who can save Chaffee's seat in liberal RI..#2 isn't a BIG issue witht he voters, and re #3..he may well change his tune with the 527 group legislation..

I am NOT advocating McCain here..I am constructing a theory out of all available puzzle pieces..to see if it fits..it does..and ( this is NOT directed at you) it's impossible to have a relevanyt conversation, nor even take seriosuly, those who want Hilalry over McCain..That is just insane..
