...Quoth the Times: "Thoughout the evening, a cavalcade of military heroes - from Mr. McCain to Bob Dole to Gen. J. Norman Schwarzkopf to Senator Chuck Hagel - offered testimonials to Mr. Bush, who did not serve in Vietnam... The intention was to assure the national viewing audience that Mr. Bush could be trusted both as a commander in chief and someone who can provide a steady hand in foreign policy despite his lack of experience in the field."

...happy talk centered on whom, with McCain out of the game, Bush might pick as his running mate. The merits of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge and Senators Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Fred Thompson of Tennessee were all discussed. Other names were mentioned too. When the two men got more comfortable, McCain tossed off a few campaign suggestions. Take up Al Gore's challenge to debate, McCain advised. Don't settle for only a handful of engagements where the expectations will inflate beyond reason, but keep Gore in a tight clinch, debating early and often. Bush said he'd think...
