I also don’t see Fred throwing his hat in with anybody because I don’t think he is to fond of any of the remaining candidates (some personally and all when it comes to what they represent in terms of conservatism and the direction they would lead the party). Remember he was making this about a battle for the party and what direction it will go.
I would expect McCain to go with somebody more liberal and controversial... Got to stick in the eye of the conservations you know... Especially when we can no longer do anything about it (when he has the nomination). In addition - picking a conservative for a running mate wouldn’t do much for his “Maverick” bona-fides and wouldn’t garner much seat time on MTP or much love with his beloved liberal media.
Well, I know last weekend when word got out his mother was ill only one candidate called him to inquire into her health — and it was before he indicated he would drop out.
