WASHINGTON -- Two years after running against President Barack Obama, Senator John McCain says he sees a change.
Appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation," McCain expressed optimism that Obama will lead Democrats and Republicans to find common ground on key issues.

Asked if the push to repeal health care reform is a waste of time -- because Senate Democrats will block repeal and, should it pass, the president would veto it -- McCain said, "We need to have a vote on it because we promised the people we would. We campaigned that we would `repeal and replace'. We have to have a vote on repeal, so that everybody's on record whether they want to repeal. Then, I think, piece by piece, we go through -- quote -- replacing."
McCain said he believes that, this time around, Democrats are more willing to negotiate on specifics of the health care program.

At Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday, McCain plans to sit with Sen. Tom Udall, a Democrat from New Mexico.
The Arizona Republican said he thinks having Democrats and Republicans sit together instead of dividing by parties is "a good idea."

Defense contractors. I figured it out when I went to Scottsdale once. Right on the border of PHX and Scottsdale is a huge Rayteon or General Dynamics factory. There was three or four huge buildings. MCCain brings home the bacon. The “war” in Afghanistan and Iraq is just to keep the defense industries humming.
A muslim in the white hut is not going to try to “win” in Afghanistan. How many empires fell apart because an Afghanistan war bankrupted the nation - Britian, USSR, Greece/Alexander, Genghis Khan?
I am older than John McCain but I believe he is becoming senile or out of the loop and I voted for him against Obama.
” McCain isn’t going to convert a “Dino voter” to conservatism. And that’s the problem: there are too many lefties in what should have been a right-wing faction. “
McCain might be able to convert a RINO into a communist, tho ;-)
They both have taken money from Soros. This news does not suprise me in the least.
Translation = AMNESTY
McCain has changed since the campaign for re-election to the senate. He’s changed back to the America hating brain damaged rino that he’s always been.
McCain is another America hating scumbag similar to Jimmy Cahtuh in that their are spending their last years trying to destroy this nation and freedom.
Yeah! The people of Arizona who believed his swill during the campaign and then were stupid enough to vote for him.
Why didn’t Arizona throw this dipstick out on his arse?
if the feds force AZ to abandon it’s law and let all the illegals in, a good thing would be they’d vote this fool out of office.
Would love to find out more in this regard, but, I think they are all too smart to get caught.
I didn't say McCain would convert a DINO to conservatism. You are really good at arguing against the strawman you make up.
