Don't know about that. It isn't going to be McCain, though, that's for sure.
You're right! I think his ties to the Keating 5 will come back to haunt him, as they should. He was up to hi elbows in the Savings and Loan debacle.
Also from what I have read, when he was a POW, after the NV found out his father was an Admiral, he received preferential treatment because the NV thought it would help sway the talks with the US government. I don't think he had it near as bad as the rest of the POW's. It's the only reason I can think of for him to be such a pussy when it comes to National Defense. What other excuse does he have for trying to defame the "Swifties"? Talk about turning your back on your fellow Vet's! The man is just like sKerry! His only interest is his own self promotion. Certainly not my idea of Presidential material.

From Wikipedia:
in 1967, he was shot down over Vietnam, and was held as a prisoner of war in Hanoi for five-and-a-half years, mostly in the infamous Hanoi Hilton. When the North Vietnamese discovered he was the son and grandson of admirals, he was offered a chance to go home, but he refused to break the military code that POWs be released in the order that they are captured. He was finally released from captivity in 1973, having survived the injuries he received when he was shot down, the beatings from an angry crowd and his captors, a year of torture, and two years of solitary confinement. (...) Once released, his POW injuries prevented him from receiving a sea command, so in 1977, he became a Naval liaison to the Senate.
