In reply to the discussion: McCain was very supportive and flattering of Sec. State Kerry... [View all]graham4anything

so I will give you a link right here.
I believe this to be true.
We all know politics is dirty, and people want what they want, most times they don't get it, but like this time, they do.
And it's all in the game.
When they win, well, they achieved what they want.
Too bad it was at the expense of a senior senate seat and Susan Rice.

You gotta win it to be in it, and well Kerry won it. So he achieved his objective.
But let's not all of a sudden think that politics did not win this race.
Politics wins every race.

I think nothing of it but that John Kerry stood with him alone in a Hanoy cell.

the two are BFFs. Remember, John Kerry wanted McCain to be his VP in 2004
