McCain was very supportive and flattering of Sec. State Kerry...

91. That and W did not side with him when Sununu primaried him

I do think his comments on JK - where he did say he disagreed with him on almost all policy, but a GOP Congress would keep him from doing harm on domestic issues, but that he was a man of integrity and honor were real. I do think they came from things like Kerry immediately saying the staff would be divided 50/50 - rather than him taking more as the chair, made an impression.

(One funny thing in the video on one trip they took together (CSPAN) was when they were close to one area that they wanted to check out -close that is by bike - I think about 10 miles. Kerry immediately asked the Vietnamese if they could get some bikes. Smith, who looked very out of shape, looked aghast. Kerry quickly - with a slight look of disappointment - agreed that would not work.)
