Hillary Clinton and John McCain are 'very close,' Bill Clinton says.

(CNN) — If Hillary Clinton and John McCain become their party's presidential nominees, the general election race is likely to be a love-fest.
At least according to Bill Clinton.
Campaigning in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Friday, the former president brushed aside suggestions his wife would prove to be a divisive nominee for the Democratic Party, pointing out how she has successfully worked with Republicans in the Senate — including one of the current GOP presidential candidates.
"She and John McCain are very close," Clinton said. "They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they're afraid they'd put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other."
The comments may not be welcome by the McCain camp — which yesterday faced fire from several of its rivals from winning the backing of the New York Times — a longtime archenemy of conservatives.

Hillary Clinton and John McCain are 'very close,' Bill Clinton says.
Well, we all know you can’t believe one word Bill Clinton says.... but still just one more reason not to vote for John McCain.

Bill says it would be the most civilized election in American history? Bill is out there practicing the politics of personal destruction against Barack Obama, and we’re supposed to believe that he wouldn’t do the same against any Republican, including McCain, who would stand in the way of the coronation of Hillary the 1st?
The bulbous, red nose speaks!
All are commanded to listen!!
The Evil One can not win unless conservatives sit this one out, just like in 92.
maybe he will be here VP pick.
Now we have it on the ‘record’ right out of Bill Clinton’s mouth..... Put this on your conservative vote rating analysis.
"Oooh John-John...show me your 'Top Gun'..."
The Katrina looter guy with the stolen beer.
Just another reason I would not vote for McCain next Tuesday. Others added to my list is that the New York Times endorsed McCain and Mel Martinez is going to endorse him.
Sure makes my vote for Romney even better! With Fred out, I still see Romney as my next best choice.
All the more reason not to vote for this make believe GOP, turncoat, liberal trainwreck!
Thats funny I thought they could be one in the same.Yup. neither one has a following from the conservative base.
Well yea. duh. Why do you think that the commies/elites are touting the Huck & McLame. Why did Bubbas mentor say that this is the ideal way elections should happen - two libs running & all of the sheeple go out & vote for them to give them legitimacy. I'm not voting if these two are the choices.
Is that a real picture or photoshop?
If I already weren’t voting for him, this would decide it for me!
Scary thought. Hill leaves Bill to be with McCain if she loses election so that she can be First Lady again.
If it’s between those two, I am definitely voting for a third party.
Hmm. Will there be a McCain/Clinton ticket?
You heard it here first!
McCain as Hillary’s VP!!!
Well then you are about as DUH as it gets, playing right into the the enemy's hand.
Laugh if you want,...flame if you want,...but I've had it with this regurgitation, election after election, of the same old corrupt Globalists, regardless of party affiliation!
Nah, Ron Paul may be one crazy old SOB, but there's no way he could destroy this nation like these other traitorous bastages have over the last two decades! ...and before anyone chastises me about the WOT,...just understand that I'll believe we're really in a war against terrorism when we bomb Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria and any other mofo that sticks his islamic head above a dune.
I'm done. -rant off now
That's all I needed to hear (as if I needed to hear more). If the Clintons like McCain, he's poison for the GOP and for America!
We nominate this jerk at our peril!
Pure BS. McEgo, accusing her of waving a white flag in Iraq, does not constitute civility.
It’s just like saying comrades.
I wonder if Huck put it there?
Proof that even the devil can play cupid!
It’ll be a civilized event as long as McCain is losing..like they want him to. If he broke even in a national poll..then he would become a dumb ass.
Ditto....After reading this and Coulter’s column yesterday...I will not vote for McCain.
That is really all you need to know about John McCain!
Good point. Downright scary parallel but you’re absolutely right! Shudder.
This article is floating a trial ballon for a McCain VP offering by Hillary...a move that could erase the costly mistake made by Sen Kerry in ‘04 in turning McCain down.
Wouldn’t be good news for us at all, though!
More than likely, such a trial balloon is designed to take the wind out of a McCain/Lieberman matchup (for an Independent run).
The love birds confirmed global warming within about an hour. Their trip was in August 2005.

McCain, Clinton, other senators take global-warming tour in Alaska
Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), and two other Lower-48 colleagues are touring Alaska this week to see for themselves the destructive impacts of climate change. They've flown over Yukon forests devastated by spruce bark beetles -- believed to be thriving thanks to unusually high temperatures -- and eyeballed receding glaciers at Kenai Fjords National Park. In Barrow, America's northernmost city, the senators spoke with scientists and met Inupiat native Alaskans who described how severe environmental changes are disrupting their hunts, homes, and lives. Coastal erosion and thawing permafrost are likely to force massive relocations of Native villages, which could cost hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. "If you can go to the Native people and listen to their stories and walk away with any doubt that something's going on, I just think you're not listening," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

And?
That occured to me to. Wouldn’t put it past them both if McCain doesn’t get the GOP nod.
THAT is a fact!! I remember a few years ago when Hilly and McCain were touring around the world together. I thought it was rather odd.
Senator Kerry is so dense as to still be blaming the Swiftboaters...instead of blaming himself for turning McCain down.
But then again, '04 was close. While McCain would have made a difference back then, there is no guarantee that '08 will be so close as to force Hillary into such a deal.
Certainly people in LA are saying that Mayor Villaraigso (sp) has been offered Hillary's VP position.
