A desire by both men to secure their places in history might forge an unlikely pairing.
BY RICK SANTORUM
Obama also faces the reality of needing at least one Republican senator to join him to break filibusters. Many speculate that three moderate Republicans will provide the necessary Senate votes and the imprimatur of bipartisanship.
. . . . .
But I believe Obama has an ace in the hole among Senate Republicans. This unlikely ace can deliver not only the GOP moderates needed to break a filibuster, but also the stamp of bipartisanship: the 2008 GOP standard bearer, John McCain.
. . . . .
In McCain's mind, however, losing the presidency will not be the final chapter of his life story. He knows the path to "Big Media" redemption. Working with the man who vanquished him in November will show them all the real McCain again.

I read somewhere that McPain’s second wife and mother especially disdained the Palins.
Truer words....
Don’t forget to throw Orin Hatch in there. He will rubber-stamp every crook and Trotskyite Obama nominates for his cabinet.
Not me. I will never vote for another RINO. I am thinking very seriously about changing my party affiliation to Independence Party. The Republican party leadership has never been so feckless.
I remember it well. I was called every vile name by one McCain supporter. This supporter truly reflected his candidate. I knew after McCain’s bailout hijinks that he would lose. He had a perfect opportunity to run against both Congress and Bush. Instead, he chose to be a typical Beltway hack.
Note: Besides the evidence that Bruckhiemer contributed to the McCain/Palin Victory fund months before he surprised the world by naming her, their fund was set up by the same law firm that Michele and Barry met at - Sidley Austin.
Funny you should mention Hatch. He came to mind almost instantly after I hit “post”.
Yes, but many here are glad that we have a Dem in there...that sure taught Santorum and Bush a lesson, didn't it?

I am almost relieved McCain lost the election. I am planning on spending the next two years intensively researching terrorism and the criminal underground, these elections always distract me from my research, and a McQueeg administration will only frustrate that end. At least we know Obo can always be depended upon to veer left. McQueeg would veer all over the map, and probably further destroy the Republican party, as only Beltway insiders can do.
