He's proabably pissed at dad for blowing enough of his inheritance as it is. Is McCain looking for a Sugar Daddy to complement the mommy he already has on board?

Not if Tagg can help it. He’s proabably pissed at dad for blowing enough of his inheritance as it is.

Bush's final act as president will be, just like all other recent presidents, one of cowardice where he issues a series of pardons then sneaks out the back door. A clean sweep of the executive branch might bring too many skeletons out of the closet, and McCain wouldn’t want that sort of thing tarring his first four years.

Instead I believe that John McCain's team will trot out the rotting corpse of either Richard Nixon or perhaps even Ronald Reagan. The other potential McCain dream ticket: Dick Cheney. Here me out on this... ...with Cheney, McCain could deflect all criticism of the war to his running mate who is great at creating an alternate reality. Cheney could then milk the VPship much the same way George W. Bush milked the President-in-time-of-war meme during 2004. The war in Iraq could have perpetual continuity, and Dick Cheney would continue to run the country like the dictator he has always wanted to be. Furthermore, now that part of the Bush team is still in place for the McCain presidency, George W. Bush and his cronies can more easily melt into the background and avoid any serious investigations and/or criminal probes. A clean sweep of the executive branch might bring too many skeletons out of the closet, and McCain wouldn't want that sort of thing tarring his first four years. Besides, I am just dying to see Lynn Cheney do campaign events again. Anyone remember her "oh, he's a BAAAAD man" comment directed towards John Edwards during the 2004 election just after one of the VP debates where Edwards needled Cheney about his gay daughter?
