though I don't know if I'd trust them if I were Reid so it is probably someone more reliable.

This happens every cycle. LBJ and JFK didn't like each other at all. H-Dub trashed Reagan constantly in the 1980 primary campaign. And then there's Obama and the Clintons.

Par for the course.

If I were John McCain, and I not only lost the Republican Primary to a buffoon, but did so because he cast aspersions on my family and specifically my children, I would have likely punched him right in his smirky little mouth. But John McCain, who is a career politician, hugged the guy like they were long lost buddies. Whatever modicum of respect I once had for John McCain was forever lost at that moment. And now here he comes again to throw his endorsement to a guy that everyone in the country knows he can't stand.

McCain and Rmoney park their cars in the same garage. They have no political beliefs other than winning, and they'll whore themselves up to achieve their own ends.
