McCain needs to leave these two alone and get back to Washington and get back to work, and appear like the leader he is. IS ANYONE IN HIS CAMPAIGN OUT THERE READING THIS!!!!
The dems have two light weights, who are not capable of carrying his shoes...
For example, he it's not too late to sponsor legislation to waive federal taxes on gasoline. I'm not talking about a speech, I'm talking about ramming a bill through the Senate NOW. No senator would dare vote against it.
President Bush could also ask McCain to travel to Israel and Iraq on a diplomatic mission. sure, it's headlines and photo ops, but it's headlines and photo ops, and it gets him into a problem solving mode and as a fringe benefits, he can refute Carter's ass kissing visit with Hamas.
There are LOTS of great opportunities to burnish his presidential bona fides while the democrat candidates slug it out in the mud.
