Too bad there was no “McCain-Obama” act passed. That would have been poetic.

I meant—has anyone done a rhinoceros with the “gritted teeth” photo instead of the bland McCain face?

Dittos.

And this sounds like CYA for Dorgan -- not McCain. The problem with McCain is that I fear he is clueless enough to give the Dems a chance for CYA.

Obama was a cosponsor on the climate change legislation several times, I think...but the two primray sponsors were McCain and Lieberman, and then Lieberman and (John) Warner.

How about the first conservative rebellion—front a good primary candidate against McInsane in 2010.

McCain ran the worst campaign in recent history: he just
doesn't get it, there is no compromise between conservative
principles and communism!
