McCain Feingold part deux??

I have been hearing to rumors of a possible McCain/Liberman ticket today. I remember quite some time ago someone saying that if either candidate crossed the aisle and took a member of the other party as a VP they would win the Presidency. Now we are days away from the possibility becoming a reality. Being a Libertarian this move would be nothing more than a novelty to me since my vote will be for Bob Barr in November. But without a dog in this particular fight it will be a lot of fun to watch the squirming that the Republican party will be put through with this. The independents will probably be swayed by this “maverick” move but the party faithful will be forced to hold their collective breath come November when they will dutifully vote for McCain because “party trumps person”. Of course this will not make McCain any less of a DC insider happy to play the politicians shell-game with American citizens, but it may make him President.
