That's not what I'm hearing. Far from it, in fact.

But lets realize one thing: you're always going to have a few who don't vote with the party in every election cycle. Bush got 11% of the Democratic vote in both 2000 and 2004, if you believe CNN's exit polls. No one ever locks up 100% of their party and there will always be a few who decide to break ranks for whatever reason. Sometimes, indeed, it happens with lifelong party members.

I had been wondering why if McCain wanted a woman for VP why he did not pick Kay Bailey Hutchison the 3 term Senator from Texas as his running mate. She certainly has more political experience than Palin and she will help pull in the Texas vote for McCain.

I guess since McCain has zero executive experience he did not want to have another Senator for VP again with zero executive experience added to his ticket. Zero + Zero = Zero, so he went with Palin even though she has only a few years of executive experience under her belt it still beats a zero hands down. Also if you look at Hutchinson and Palin side by side the latter easier to look at.

I like KBH and mentioned her as a strong possibility a few days ago, but at the same time, she had previously indicated that she had no interested in the role of VP. I thought it may have been a ruse, but in retrospect, its doubtful.

Article

During an interview on MSNBC, Hutchison said, “I don’t want to be vice president. I’ve said that over and over again. I’m going in a different direction. I really do not want to be vice president.”

I call BS. You use the word "McSame" wyhich indicates a bias on your part. That bias tells me you are most likely to make up facts to the contrary of reality. I detect a hint of sour followed by grapes.
