McCain Switch?
I suppose David Broder is right when he argues that it is absurd to expect John McCain to run successfully for president as a Democrat. However, that is not to say that it would be a bad thing for McCain to try it. It is his only chance to win the White House. Assuming that Bush isn’t impeached (which he deserves), he will be the GOP candidate in 2004. In 2008, McCain will be 72. Plus, the GOP hates him. With the Democrat’s majority status in the Senate razor-thin, it would be great for a popular politician like McCain to become a Democrat—or at least an independent. The Democrats should encourage McCain to switch.
