Obama and Biden appear to really like and respect one another and Biden is such an admirable man. Where will McCain ever find someone even remotely like Biden? If I were Biden I would ask for a VP debate cage match because his Republican opponent will be crying like a baby to be let out.

4. Joe Lieberman seems to genuinely like him.
But who wants to be liked by Joe Lieberman? I mean, even McCain doesn't stoop that low, does he?

"He had very few friends in the Senate," said former Senator Bob Smith, who dealt with McCain almost daily. "He has a lot of support around the country, but I don't think he has a lot of support from people who know him well."


Another former senator who requested anonymity recalled an exchange at a Republican policy lunch. McCain turned on another senator who disagreed with him.


"McCain used the f-word," the former senator said. "McCain called the guy a ‘sh--head.' The senator demanded an apology. McCain stood up and said, ‘I apologize, but you're still a sh--head.' That was in front of 40 to 50 Republican senators. That sort of thing happened frequently."
