MCCAIN MUTINY IN WORKS?

IS Sen. John McCain going to quit the Republican Party and become the running mate of Sen. John Kerry in the 2004 presidential race? McCain's chief political adviser, John Weaver, has become a Democrat and is now working for Dick Gephardt. McCain's new legislative director, Christine Dodd, last worked for a liberal congressman - a Democrat. Now Kerry of Massachusetts, who has made clear his plans to run in 2004, is making overtures towards McCain. A rumored head-to-head between Kerry and McCain is said to be scheduled at McCain's cabin in Sedona, Ariz., next month. And for "Man of the People," the new McCain biography by Paul Alexander, Kerry provided a blurb that reads more like a love letter. After noting that McCain's 2000 presidential campaign "set the standard for honor, dignity, courage, and truth," Kerry declares: "I have had no greater privilege in all my life than finding and then standing on common ground with John McCain, and I look forward to fighting side by side with him on yet another day to make our country stronger."

Page Six today is very depressing. First Clinton in Africa...now this.

McCain is a very bad man.

[Man of the Right]

McCain's very aggressive stance on the use of military force is out of the touch with the Democratic party, which is dovish. The use of force may or may not be THE major issue in '04, but it's going to be an issue.

McCain may or may not change his registration, but changing it won't necessarily get him one of the 2 spots on the Democrat national ticket. Too many Democrats want it, either to win national office outright, or to build name familiarity for a later run for the Presidency, depending on Bush's vulnerability. Clearly, McCain knows this. Today, he was talking about retiring.

First Clinton in Africa...

Now we know how that muppet got AIDS...

This will be a momentous as when John Lindsey switched parties.

[c-b 1]

That would get him out of the Senate. He can't get elected to the Senate as a Democrat in Arizona, it is doubtful he can as a republican.

[Paleo Conservative]

McCain has too big an ego to be vice-president. It would have to be McCain/Kerry.

Anybody 'round here got a late model BS meter? Mine just shorted out...

[WOSG]

actually this is cool ... let him wreck havoc in the Other party for a change!!! ... OTOH, we still need 53 GOP senators to be free and clear of a munity/blackmail of GOP RINO Senators.

[RAT Patrol]

LOL!

On the bright side, I'd like to see the 'rats have a pro-life VP. hehehehe.

[Norwell]

I believe that there are some "Internet Rumors" that are based on fact, and they will sink the Senator from Massachusetts.

[ambrose]

such as... and no need to be specific... let's discuss as hypothetical:

what could sink a liberal senator?

[Howlin]

I'm waiting to hear this one, too!

Norwell, TELL!

[woofie]

We are waiting

Good grief!

See reply #15. Wanna come down from Vegas?

[dfwgator]

Make plans for a FReep.

Bring plenty of strawberries.

[irv]

let him wreck havoc in the Other party for a change!!!

Yes. Remember: after becoming a Democrat (in name, too) in order to keep his reputation as a "maverick" McCain would have to actually try to work WITH the Republicans for a change. I say, let him go for it!

[brat]

I sincerely wish I could. There is no one...except Hitlery...that I would rather freep than John McTraitor! Can't wait for the report!
