There was much rumour about the possibility of McCain getting the VP slot with Kerry and if I remember rightly McCain squashed it by appearing with GWB at an event at a military base and giving GWB his support for re-election.
I met McCain in 2004 when he came to Minnesota to stump for ‘W’....
I did’t trust him then and I don’t trust him (and Pawlenty) now.
After the 2000 debates, I was in favor of Cheney for president and Lieberman for his running mate.
I thought that they were the sharpest knives in the drawer.
