Well, I know Kerry wanted to have him as a VP candidate but it just isn't going to happen. McCain will be campaigning for Bush's re-election:
quote:"Should the enemy acquire for their arsenal the chemical, biological and nuclear weapons they seek, this war [on terrorism] will become an even bigger thing: It will become a fight for survival," McCain told thousands of GIs at the Army base here. "That's why your courage is so indispensable to us."
Bush sat just behind McCain on a stage erected in an aircraft hangar, basking in the endorsement from his fierce opponent for the 2000 GOP presidential nomination. They seemed determined to project unity, heaping praise on each other with no mention of the bitter contest.
The president said of McCain, who spent 5 1/2 years in a Vietnamese POW camp: "When he speaks of service and sacrifice, he speaks from experience. ... The United States military has no better friend in the United States Senate than John McCain."
McCain said of Bush: "He has not wavered in his determination to protect this country and to make the world a better, safer, freer place. You will not yield, nor will he."
Kerry must be crying. He worked so hard on this...and it failed so miserably on him.
Almost feel bad for him.

There was never a chance of McCain joining the Kerry team for the very reason they wanted him: he's an honorable man. And as such, he wouldn't leave his party without overwhelming reasons, reasons that don't yet exist for him.
I will be interested in seeing McCain's reactions if Bush wins and then continues with the policies that McCain has been fighting against.
