He is kissing up to become the 2008 nominee. It's a little too obvious.
"It's a little too obvious."
It's also incredibly stupid. Bush can't run in 2008 so why the stupidity? Just to depress votes for others, or to lower expectations for McCain.? Why not right in Abe Lincoln while you're at it, cause he won't be running either.
With McCain, it's always about McCain.
This little show of Bush loyalty is no exception.
McCain's people put the word out on this stunt two days ago, typical PR feeding of the MSM, so they would gratefully give him maximum attention before and during the Memphis event.
