I was thinking the same thing. Then there's Chafee who might be the next Jeffords. I think the GOP needs at least a 53-47 advantage after the Nov. elections, otherwise these snakes will have tremendous leverage.

Just watch, if there is a 50-50 tie, the media will immediately start asking (suggesting?) McCain whether he plans to switch. He'd probably give an ambiguous response. I am praying they can get at least a 53-47 majority this fall.

"I'm surprised the Arizona Republican Party hasn't demanded it yet."

Well they tried. Can only say they should heed the old axim. . ."if at first you don't succeed, try. . .try again. . ."

Unbelieveable. . .as a Republican, this man is still in 'isolation'.

It's got to happen. There is just too much backlog on bills, the war effort, a defense budget, and judicial nominees.

I'd love to see it and hope Arizonans really do have that much backbone.

""McCain is likely to partner with Hollings and Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kerry on a measure to squeeze more miles per gallon from cars and SUVs. ""

McCain is even more likely to partner up with the Johns Hopkins Hospital research team in order to ascertain whether or not any bit of intelligence can be extracted from his brain........
