...part to unify the party, because the other options were worse, but also because Bush would have been a credible president if anything happened to a 68-year-old Reagan. Amid all the talk about who McCain might pick as his partner today, it's wholly accurate to say Mitt Romney is unlikely to get that call from Sedona. There is no love between McCain and Romney; the two men don't care for each other, come from different wings of their party and have said some things that make Bush's "voodoo" remark seem harmless...
...attacking his inexperience. Not McCain's best issues, so by not losing, he wins. Both McCain and Obama are taking seriously the task of selecting a running mate, launching confidential inquiries headed by old Washington hands A.B. Culvahouse and Jim Johnson, respectively. McCain hosted three prospects (former rival Mitt Romney, Florida governor Charlie Crist and Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal) at his ranch and avoided unseemly leaks or accusations of pandering. Obama faces pressure to choose opponent Hillary Clinton, a tangle he'd rather avoid. Obama paused his nomination battle with Clinton to focus on swing states like New Mexico...
...people love to speculate, and McCain has given them more than enough to pique their interest. Among the guests who will be joining him over Memorial Day are former G.O.P. candidate Mitt Romney, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, and Florida governor Charlie Crist.

Former Arkansas Gov. and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who will be on a cruise with his wife on their 34th wedding anniversary, will not be able to attend, along with Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, who has other obligations...

Mitt Romney for saying the President and his generals should have private “timetables” to measure progress. Romney didn’t offer a public date for withdrawal, yet McCain accused him of wanting to “wave the white flag.” So what’s he doing...
This year, both Clinton and Obama released strong climate proposals that build on the cap-and-trade idea. But as McCain girded for primary battles against skeptics like Mitt Romney, he throttled back his leadership on the issue, missing every environmental vote of the year. Lieberman teamed up with Virginia Republican John Warner to produce a bill that is more detailed and ambitious than the ones Lieberman and McCain worked on. With the backing of California Democrat Barbara Boxer, the fierce, deep-green chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, Lieberman and Warner added provisions to protect...
