For those who actually believe the ridiculous position that he would run just as a foil for McCain, ask yourselves this: A man in his 60’s, with a successful former congressional stint who’s financially comfortable, and has been literally besieged with lucrative radio offers that he turned down for this pursuit with a young wife and 2 toddlers incurring a financially risky and physically tiring campaign schedule with this young family in his mature years He would do all this for SOMEBODY ELSE ? So is McCain paying him big bucks to endure and put himself and his family through all this ? What’s Fred get out of it?

The risks for Fred are relatively small. He hasn't faced a particularly hostile press nor has he lost much time campaigning, as his effort was lackadaisical at best. At the same time, Fred gets to raise his national profile and possibly get a cabinet position or even become Vice President. McCain may not even live another 8 years, seeing as how he's older than Moses. The Vice President could easily ascend to the highest office in the land, and he wouldn't even have to win an election.
