When John Draper wrote a book on President Bush last year, he focused on a number of areas involving Daschle. Most relevant today is the assessment of the political connection between Daschle and McCain and the mention of a Daschle visit to McCain’s Arizona ranch.

Daschle’s objective, wrote Draper: “To see if perhaps he could make an honest Democrat out of him (McCain). Depending on which staff you believed, Daschle either came very close to succeeding or never had a chance to begin with. Nonetheless, the flirtation did not go unnoticed by the White House.”

When reviewing the book, I asked Daschle about Draper’s comments.

“It is true that we were once close to bringing John McCain into the caucus. There are many who can verify that,” Daschle said.

“huck needs 950 of the remaining 1015 votes.”

He can win far fewer delegates and still force an open convention.
