And the pimping for McCain begins...
If Phil Gramm were McCain's advisor IO would feel a lot better about McCain. He was a good conservative.
I an officially on the new anti-McCain bandwagon; however, I never really got off the one from 2000! Do we use the same name for his supporters or do we get a new one? :)
Gramm a disasterous campaigner...after he spend $7M and got zero primary victories....one pundit explained that Gramm was the type where "his friends don't even like him...."
Any mention of the fact that Graham's wife was an Enron auditor?
A leopard doesn't change his spots--the only thing Gramm can do is change people's perception of McCain. McCain is what he is, and will not change. He has done too much damage to himself with conservatives.
Notice it's the MSM already pushing McCain.
McCain ran Phil's illfated campaign for the presidential nomination in '96. This reads as more of a "thank you."
Ugly push poll calls were made asking people if they wanted a foreigner as first lady. There was suspicion that the calls were bought and paid for by Buchanan.
McCain seems to learned a lesson from his last run, don't alienate the base. Last time he tried to run as a christian-bashing maverick with a bunch of RINO advisors. If McCain runs more right and buddies up to the Christian conservatives, he will be tough to beat. Unfortunate, but true.
I was (and am) a big Gramm fan.
No, they have been friends for a while.
He might have a lot of Enron baggage. Remember how he announced he wasn't seeking a fourth term just a couple of weeks before Enron's stock collapsed? His wife Wendy was on the board of directors at Enron on the audit committee.
Phil Gramm was one of my favorite politicos. That statement makes me a Gramm admirer.
It appears McCain was planning to run against the big spending Republican congress.
Which would have been a good position; now gone.
If McCain starts talking about Dickie Flatt, I'm quitting the GOP.
I never really got off the one from 1996, I think.
McClone's works. His name offers endless possibilities, but I think McMeMeMe captures him best. Then there's McTimebomb, McNutcase, McJudas....
Yep. Sen. John McCain (R - Media)
My wife and I voted Republican but in no way, no how would I ever vote for McCain for President.

She's not an auditor and you might learn how to spell their last name.
Gramm may be a professor and a smart man, but he comes off looking and sounding like he just got off a watermelon truck
Fred Thompson for President
