WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 — Senator John McCain, intent on succeeding where his freewheeling presidential campaign of 2000 failed, is assembling a team of political bruisers for 2008. And it includes advisers who once sought to skewer him and whose work he has criticized as stepping over the line in the past.


In 2000, Mr. McCain, Republican of Arizona, said the advertisements run against him by George W. Bush, then the governor of Texas, distorted his record. But he has hired three members of the team that made those commercials — Mark McKinnon, Russell Schriefer and Stuart Stevens — to work on his presidential campaign.

In 2004, Mr. McCain said the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth advertisement asserting that Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts had not properly earned his medals from the Vietnam War was “dishonest and dishonorable.” Nonetheless, he has hired the firm that made the spots, Stevens Reed Curcio & Potholm, which worked on his 2000 campaign, to work for him again this year.

Doesn't have a chance. What chance does he have along with LIEberman to actually try and increase the number of soldiers in Iraq?

4. Pot meet kettle

Straight talk my ass. McCain doesn't care about honesty. I have loast all respect for him - not that I had much left after he let Bush walk all over him.

I doubt he'll be the candidate anyway but this sure will be interesting to watch how the Repugs will eat their own. This is going to get ugly.

10. To little too late, John

When you failed to "defend" your own family as Rover & the gang defamed them, and then you hugged the little puppet so desperately, you lost the last shred of any elect-ability you might have had..

the fetus-worshipers hate your guts
democrats only liked you back then because we all hated * so damned much, and you seemed like an okay guy
and the moderate-independents don't like you much because you are a warmonger.

who does that leave?? (How many of your kids are old enough to vote?)

11. Why the question marks?

He's a Republican.............of course he'll fight dirty.

12. They are the same guys that said McCain was the only POW to actually gain weight

And McCain embraces them as he did Bush*. This man has no morals what-so-ever. He is nothing but an opportunist and has lost his chance to become President because people are waking up to him and the Republicans in general...

13. Politics corrupts....you think?

McCain has desperation written all over his campaign.
