In reply to the discussion: Who is the Democratic Party's version of John McCain? [View all]After crafting McCain-Feingold McCain voted to confirm John Roberts and Samuel Alito, both members of the Federalist Society. Both were opposed to campaign finance reform, both voted for the plainiffs in Citizens United, along with Thomas, Kennedy and Scalia.
Did he not know who they were, and how they were likely to decide? If he didn't he was lousy at his job, or couldn't connect the dots. Either way, not "both true."

Joe Lieberman or maybe Manchin? They're both better and worse than Mc Caine.

Biden is a tough, plain-talker who is respected by (and his worked with) others across the aisle

Bill Clinton kind of. There really isn't one but Bill Reached across the aisle on a lot of issues.
