Barack Obama, to hear his advisers tell it, has finally found The One he has been looking for: John McCain.
“We have been looking literally for years for someone we can cut deals with, and finally someone has stepped up,” a White House official said. West Wing aides say they now talk with McCain roughly every other day.
McCain, to hear fellow Republicans tell it, has finally found The Two he has needed to make such conversations worth the bother: Sen. Chuck Schumer, a Democrat who can actually get things done in the Senate, and Denis McDonough, a White House chief of staff who actually cares what senators say and think and do.
The return of McCain the Maverick rankles many Republicans, but he can reliably count on seven to 10 GOP senators to back him, including Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee.
Schumer, while watched with suspicion by some Democrats and leadership staff, can deliver the vast majority of his party — and he isn’t afraid of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), as others are. “Harry, to his credit, gives people some space to do this stuff,” Schumer said.

God saved us from a McCain presidency
Traitors both.
The Bermuda Triangle.
I knew McCain looked like Fester Addams.
Oh, yeah......
Thanks a pantload.....
McCain is a useful idiot. He would keep his mouth shut on Stand Your Ground Laws.
McCain agrees with Obama on everything except too little war.
Even some of those RINOs have to vote no on judges who have bad positions on gun control.
I can’t help wondering if the Communists in then North Vietnam got to him and he is brainwashed. The quick appeasement of the Democrat/Communist party by McCain boggles the mind.
McVain finally gets the attention he craves
Gonna be a Big Man, Mommy! Just watch.
Everyone knows he went nuts in Hanoi
Someone in his family involuntarily commit this loser, mclame. Do it for the sake of your country.
A Douche Bag and a Dirt Bag.
Sen. Judas McCain strikes again.
And what was so wrong about J.D. Hayworth?
POLITICO: where Dem politicians send their prostitutes to work LOL!
McCain and Obama, what a team. I can’t watch or listen to either one of them.
McCain is more like Oboma’s stumpy-armed, little, troll be-otch.
What I meant to say is this is not all bad. McCain is the worst salesman for amnesty.
So McCain is saying the immigration bill is conservative. The same guy that wants gun control, Tom Perez, Stand Your Ground laws repealed and EPA appointments.
Imagine if Rand Paul, Rubio, Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy came with some amnesty lite. That would be a bigger risk of passing than when you have conservatives like Graham and McCain selling it.
The old bastard probably threw his campaign deliberately. He IS the Manchurian Candidate and should be ridden out of office on a rail.
McCain is not a Maverick. He is a Traitor.
I don’t know if the North Vietnamese washed his brain or what, but he is no longer an American in my mind. He is trying to help Obama destroy America.
