McCain could do less damage to Republicans as a Vice-President pushed into some corner office than what he can do in a divided Senate.
But McCain would never do it and Bush would never ask.
To: Iron Eagle
And he should raise taxes, pull our troops our of Iraq and name Hillary as his choice for next Supreme Court Justice.
To: Iron Eagle
I think it would be a good ticket, but unfortunately I think they truly dislike one another, and McCain (if his views differed) would think nothing of contradicting anything the President might say or propose.

"Any thoughts?"
Yeah, the only ticket McLame should be on is a ticket to France!!
To: Iron Eagle
Why do people persist in fantisizing about a new VP on the Bush ticket? He's already stated that Dick Cheney is his choice and will be running with him in November.

IIRC, they did go over the top. Was this the State where they (was it Falwell's people?) went after his adopted daughter? To be honest w/you I don't totally remember the circumstances, can you elaborate?

If McCain were a waitress and Bush a customer in a diner, McCain would spit in Bush' soda and wipe her ass with the hamburger.

Unlike CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC and CNN, McCain knows what "torture" is -- and it ain't wearing panties on your head.

That one be one decision that President Bush could make that would guarantee that I would not vote for him in this election.
To: Libertarianize the GOP
no way it ever happens ... only thing McCain is going to be used for is as a comparison, no matter who Kerry picks for VP, they are going to look REALLY, REALLY LAME in comparison.
To: Iron Eagle
Last time I checked, it was the Bush-Cheney campaign.
Is Cheney a better conservative than McCain?
Obviously so.
McCain backstabs this administration so much that I think I'm watching a Janet Leigh movie.
McCain will be on the ticket sometime after hell freezes over.

Yours is the lamest "article" I've seen posted in a while. Your so-called rationale for McCain doesn't make any sense and Bush has already indicated Cheney will be the VP. Find something useful to post.
To: Iron Eagle
FOFLOL. Get Real ! There has never been, nor will there ever be, a day when President Bush craves power so badly that he'd actually choose to be in the same room with McCain. Ya see the problem with back stabbers like McCain is after the first blow they've lost their advantage.

Probably not. Will Bush suddenly switch parties and seek the Democrat nomination for president?

EXACTLY!!! BUSH has stated that Cheney is his VP and he will not change the ticket. What disturbs me is that there are so many FReepers who don't grasp the fact that Bush is a man of honor and character. Yes, he's a politician, but he is a politician who draws the line on political expedience.
It's unfortunate that so many people here have Bush confused with his Democrat rivals.

"Your so-called rationale for McCain doesn't make any sense"
How so?
You answer analysis with insult -- which is not surprising anymore on FR.
Mine was not an "article." It was a vanity. Which, by the way, was posted right next to the title. Yet you chose to partake anyway. So, now that you have wandered in, why not weigh in with something substantive. Plain talk can be substantive too.
Which part of my analysis makes no sense? Why? As I ask earlier -- how does Cheney -- who I prefer too -- help us win one more vote than we already have?
As for Cheney on the ticket. He may stay. But, having sat in a few of these meetings, I can tell you that the party has always wanted him to go -- and he has always understood that he hurts the Party in '08 if he stays. (This is not a single game transaction. The GOP must look ahead, and Cheney knew that when he picked himself.) Cheney is not running in '08, nor can he win. The Party prefers, and Cheney prefers, that we be in the driver's seat in '08.
In fact, Cheney staying is more likely now, because he probably envisioned leaving with the race in the bag. Leaving with Bush under duress, sends a signal the party is not keen on sending.
Picking this President is about winning -- plain and simple. All I ask is, putting aside our conservative love for Cheney -- how does Cheney help us? And, if Cheney does not stay -- who will we pick?
How about some plain talk on that.
