Just saw on local news Senator John McCain has just thrown his support to Bush.Didn’t catch the details,but it appeared to be while introducing Pries Bush at military base.

#10  I agree he's a maverick and for that reason I am glad he's not running for president. But the Senate can use someone a maverick to shake things up. McCain understands how to push the limits of his fight without committing suicide in the process.

#9  I do not trust John McCain. He should leave my damn party and become a donkey.

#8  McCain has earned the reputation of a maverick. I wouldn't trust him for a moment. He has a hard-on for becoming secretary of defense, bashes Rumsfeld at every opportunity.

#7  And, possibly, some pressure on Bush to be accountable for military impact of current decisions ....

#6  McCain has been the chair of Bush-Cheney 2004's campaign in Arizona for months and months. All of the Kerry-McCain speculation was media fantasy and McCain's lust for attention.

#5  Oops DO-OVER Link Messed Up! Sorry

Here's The Story!

First paragraph says it all. . .

FORT LEWIS, Wash. - Surrounding himself with soldiers fresh from the battlefield, President Bush on Friday used a western campaign swing to compliment America's military for the fight against terrorism and pick up praise from Sen. John McCain, who has rebuffed overtures from Democrat John Kerry to be his running mate.

#3  Say what you will about McCain, but he's a true American and it was always inconceivable that that POW would have EVER supported a Fonda loving weasle like Kerry. I'm sure he hates him with a vigor that the rest of us can't comprehend. Probably has to wash his hands endlessly to get the Kerry germ residue off that he bravely risked by shaking hands hands with him in his noble effort to do what he feels is best for America.

#2  "Thrown" makes it sound like this is something new. McCain has been on record as favoring the president's re-election for quite some time, though this fact has been overlooked by those poor unfortunates overcome by Kerry-McCain fever dreams.

#1  Yep...Bush and McCain campaigning together. We live in interesting times, my friends.
