McCain has a huge ego and my bet is he does not care what the Quenn thinks. Sure the party establishment would be against him, but I could see McCain entering the Demo fray as a populist. Its not totally out of the realm to believe McCain could beat Gore and Kerry in the primaries.

It would suck bigtime if McCain and Chafee jumped to the Dems. That is why I was so disappointed when Thune threw in the towel. It's not a long stretch to see those two hold hands and jump.
If the Senate goes back into the hands of the Dems, we can forget about any good judges and tax reform and economic stimulus et. al.
Do you think that Lott knows or suspects that he can and might lose control, so that is why he is making deals with the Devil? Oops, I ment Daschle?

Since the Dimbulbs are moving farther to the Left...I doubt McCain will go that far. After his attacks on Bush I don't think he can play the "conservative Democrat" game and get the independent white men back!
