#1 I've seen those exact same quotes in the exact same scenario over a month ago. Is McCain using the same lines in the same place or is this just old news being recycled for additional effect?

#2 Sounds like McCain is working up his nerve to join the Kerry team, either before the election or as a cabinet member afterwards.

#3 He's at least hedging his bets - just in case Skeery wins 2004. I do NOT believe he'll cross over - that would put off his chance to be prez til 2012 - and he's too old for that.

Looking down the road it's easy to see that if the sky falls and Skeery does win, the grief we'll suffer for having a paper-tiger as president will make 2008 a probable shoo-in for the Pubs, IMHO. Who did the Israelis elect when Intifada II was launched against them? Same Same here, methinks. When appeasement and MultiCulti BS fails for the US, as Spain is seeing up close and personal right now, the backlash will be strong. And who's laying down the "quote line" for that day? McCain may be a true prick, but he's a smart prick.

#4 "The Arizona Republican took on President Bush for failing to prepare Americans for a long involvement in Iraq..."

Say fucking WHAT????? Seems to me GWB has made it damn clear, a number of times, that we have a lot of difficult, dangerous work ahead of us; and that others in the administration have spoken of "a long, hard slog," I believe the phrase was.

Has our whole damn country been reduced to a bunch of ninnies with 15-minute attention spans? Doesn't anybody LISTEN anymore? Or they all too busy watching "Reality TV" or whatever silly, brainless substitute for reality is being pushed these days?

Jesus, I'm glad we aren't being called upon to fight WWII today...

#5 Anyone out there remember what happened to that "Recall McCain" effort from a while back? The last I heard, Arizona Republicans were rather ticked off at having him decide he was elected to represent the DNC...

#6 McCain is just preparing an "exit strategy" from the GOP in case the info gets out about what he really did in Nam.

#7 Well I guess the Kerry-Fonda ticket just ain't gonna happen.VP McCain. This is the Dims hope for this election. Mark it. Kerry-McCain. Won't matter to most Vets though. Kerry is dog meat.

#8 Powerline blogged this this weekend, and I noted that McCain (along with Jon Kyl) is co-chair of the re-elect Bush campaign - how awkward would that be, to accept Kerry's VP offer (should it really happen). OTOH - he should learn when to STFU....perhaps if Karl Rove learned Vietnamese?
