McCain's Wandering Eye

I think the story that I am most surprised to see continually cropping up this cycle concerns McCain's past considerations of possibly joining the Democratic Party (in 2001) and of joining John Kerry's ticket (in 2004). Don't get me wrong, I think it is very interesting, and provides some insight into what makes McCain tick, I just didn't expect to see so much of it. Today's New York Times article on the subject provides some chronological context, and is worth checking out.

Funny

If I were McCain, I'd be really thrilled about being able to talk tough and rally the conservative Republican base while letting someone else remind moderates in the electorate that I'm all about bipartisan and team play. In that light, it's not that surprising that we see this, I think.
