WASHINGTON (AP) – John McCain pledges that if elected president, he'd appoint Democrats to his Cabinet.
He says there's nothing partisan about tackling the nation's toughest problems.
In an interview taped today for airing tomorrow, McCain tells CBS's "Face the Nation" he intends to have the best people in America in Cabinet.
It's believed that McCain closely considered Senator Joe Lieberman as a running mate. The Connecticut independent is a former Democrat.

It was supposed to be between Ridge and Lieberman - awful picks. Instead Sarah Palin got it.
Uhhhh... Powell wasn’t SECDEF. He was Sec of State.
Are you sure about the "redux" part?
Rudy for Attorney General
Petreaus for Secretary of War (what it used to be called)
Special Forces (SEALS, Rangers) Homeland Security, ICE, Border Security...
That's all that matters. The Republicans must win. We don't care if Democrats are appointed by McCain. The party must win. Everything else is just irrelevant.
No wonder the number of people switching to independent are increasing every single year.
There is one thing that Republicans need to square themselves with. McCain is going to have to deal with a Democratic Congress. That is because Republican representatives sold their souls for pork and sold out their supporters. McCain didn't do that. Republicans did.
When are you guys going to wake up and figure out you’re being played by the media.
Hint: politicians like Zell Miller are democrats. They’re the ones who are still trying to yank the dem party away form Marxist and Socialism.
A conservative would bury homeland security.
No kidding? What a surprise!
And now that McCain has announced he'll be appointing leftist Democrats, you neoRepublicans better quickly come up with some new excuses as to why this must be done for the "better of the party".
Getting that Charlton Heston ape movie feeling.
It's a mad house.
McCain announces he'll appoint Democrats, and I'm being played by the media?
lol... Is this the Tokyo Rose school of propaganda?
We must vote yes on no?
Elect our evil?
How stupid can these suckers be?
He WILL let her share her views. I see her as someone who would just resign. She won’t be conned. This is a CNN piece - it’s just to put ‘doubt’ in the minds of voters.
As would Mitt Romney, as long as it is not as Attorney General. I just hope the majority are not like this and are good, conservative, and Republicans.
Can we start a pool? I’m going to claim 12:27P on the day McCain is sworn in.
Palin in four years or obama in five months. Your choice.
I’m just happy he put a conservative on the ticket. The rats have outregistered us. We absolutely need independents to win this thing. A month ago we were looking at a one party rule. Think of the damage they could do with Obama in the White House. It’s part of the McCain team’s strategy and they haven’t done bad so far. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d hear Republicans get on that convention stage and say the things they said. I’m not letting this throw my support for McCain.
OK John, Joe Lieberman at State, Zell Miller at Defense, Paul Volcker at the Treasury, Ed Koch at HUD, and that’s enough!
Palin? Four years??...What?
You think I'm going to vote for Mr. amnesty, who says he's going to appoint Democrats so maybe Palin can be elected in 4 years from now?
This is a political twilight zone.
Hey, vote for the liberal president, so maybe his vice president will be elected president some day?
How stupid can these suckers be?
Wait til they get a load of Hil 'n' Bill on the Supreme Court. He couldn't have the woman he wanted as VP, so he'll find a suitable job for her somewhere.
As long as that person is the most qualified. However, the way I read this, it almost sounds like an affirmative action or quota pick. Hope I am wrong.
