Timing is everything ;-)

[stuartcr]

They do seem inseperable lately...

[Piranha]

On the bright side, I can’t see this article making him LESS palatable to Democrats who can’t stand or don’t trust their candidate, but don’t want to vote for a doctrinaire conservative for President.

Better McCain than Hillary or Obama!

[Dante3]

IIRC, Rush mentioned that at a meeding with a Jewish group, McCain’s rep mentioned that the “Christian right” was a serious problem.

[Brilliant]

Yeah, but the point is that the NYT prefers Clinton and Obama to McCain. That’s all I need to know.

Not at all. Sen. Clinton will be happy to join him on the ticket. And if not her, maybe Sen. Kennedy, Gov. Corzine or maybe even Justice Bader-Ginsburg.

LOL. . .yes and we can smell the smoke of some serious thinking going on here. . .

.. .but again, think Lieberman is not a worry - most likely Cabinet or 'State' for him; but do wish there were more to realistically choose from for VP.

A 'Fred fan'; but he does not ease the 'age' thing with McCain - or appear to; nor does the image of 'two white-haired, white men' as per Charlie Crist exactly cut it. Lindsey Graham is OTOH; a baby-faced loser IMHO.

So, still looks like 'slim-pickens' from here. Would be great for McCain to have what is perceived as an 'exciting ticket'. Just don't see a dynamic duo lining up here.

The NYT is trying like the Devil to separate McCain from the conservative movement.

It's amazing how many people here at FR still think "republican" and "conservative" are synonymous. Yes, McCain is a republican. No, he is not a conservative.

[Cyber Liberty]

His discussions in 2001 with Democrats about leaving the Republican Party ...

I guess we now know what they were talking about at the big "summit," eh?

[Liberty2007]

I wonder what would happen if the vice-president was nominated over the sitting president in 2012?

I had similar thoughts, but I want him to select a rino or a rat for vp that way they go down with him and we nominate a conservative in 2012

[penowa]

"I just fear McCain is going to name Lieberman as his running mate."

Be thankful if it's not Kerry or Kennedy!

[E. Cartman]

LOL Lieberman? way too conservative.....Kerry is more to Juan's liking.

No, he's going to pick Ms. Linsey Graham. This way he'll sew up the Southern vote, and he can have two first ladies in the Oval Office.

[E. Cartman]

Be thankful if it's not Kerry or Kennedy!

Kennedy would be a de facto adviser in a McCain White House. Maybe President McCain could invite him up for "sandwiches".

[penowa]

"Maybe President McCain could invite him up for "sandwiches"."

Good one! LOL!

[Digital Sniper]

To each their own. Just remember that the lesser of two evils is still evil.
