A Compromise With Overtones for 2008 - New York Times

Maybe McCain will run as a Democrat?? Clearly ,he has lost ground with the conservatives. This story has yet to play out fully. When/if a Supreme Court vacancy occurs and Bush nominates Thomas or Scalia, the real Senate fight will erupt. What will McCain do then?

I love this quote:

"John McCain has always followed his own star," Alan K. Simpson, the former senator from Wyoming, said. "That is why he was always so attractive to the American electorate. He can tell people to go to hell - and they'll look forward to the trip."

The electorate may look forward to the trip, except conservatives. McCain has the same maverick disposition as Simpson's.
