#1 Invite scrutiny?

I seem to recall during his stint as ES, some dem congressman said he'd never be Prince Al's running mate after the Los Alamos disters.

#3 Ohhh-- it will really be sweet, if McCain will just really let loose on Kerry and this Vietnam battle Kerry seems to want to fight again!

Hummm --- wonder what all Kerry can acheive, as President, in another history-making 4 months?

#4 My DREAM democrat party convention: VP candidate McCain delivers his convention speech in primetime calling Hanoi John a coward for turning tail and running from Vietnam after completing four months of a 12-month tour. Then reminds everyone Hanoi John's charge US military personnel were WAR CRIMINALS was used by the NVA torturers to attempt to extract confessions to WAR CRIMES from McCain and other POWs.

#5 I respect Kerry's service but have to question his judgment. I know a lot of 'Nam combat vets who are none too thrilled w/his post war politics. I won't vote for him because I think he waffles way too much. As for the 4 month service thing w/3 ph's and not missing any combat time, I'd have to reserve judgment until I had more concrete facts about it.

#6 Theyâd be smoking something pretty strong, stronger than they usually do. I will not leave the Republican Party."

That is the most hilarious line I've read all day!! God bless John McCain. Dem's should have listened to me - I told them weeks ago there was no way that McCain would back a man who stabs POW's in the back - unless he had gone completely senile - which, clearly he has not!!

#7 Unless the republican party leaves him.

Besides, he's heading up a new commission. And he'll be good at it. They're keeping him busy.

#8 But McCain recently squelched such talk, at least for now: "Do you think the Democrats would want a pro-life, free-trading fiscal conservative?..."

He wasn't this a few years back. Funny how a recall petition can influence a Senator...

#9 the dems ran twice with pro-abortion rights free trading fiscal conservative named Clinton. and won both times.

McCain wont go Dem. As Lieberman wont go GOP. I still think a Lieberman-McCain ticket is the dream team of US politics. Would have to be third party though. Probably wont happen.

But the Dems stupidity in dissing Joe, is only matched by the GOP stupidity in picking Dubya over McCain. To give the GOP credit, McCain did better in their primaries in 2000 than Joe did in Dem primaries in 2004.

#10 LH - I don't care about the party - and liked Lieberman alot. Given what he's actually done in the Big Chair do you really mean the Dubya vs McCain matchup was a mistake? I don't see McCain as having the stones to do all of what Dubya has done. Part of Dubya's appeal to me is his relativly short time as an officeholder - and this means there's less of the "it can't be done" / "ooooh, a third-rail!" conventional wisdom mentality. Bumblebees can't fly, but they don't know that, so...

#11 McCain's temperment can be called into question.
