So I guess the campaign may finally decided to add a fact checker of sorts!

Note I said "the Republicans would see this...." not "It would be...." I don't think any ticket with McCain on it is a winning ticket, but I think there's a perception on their side of this idea being appealing to centrists. In the end I think they may just ask McCain to step aside at the Republican convention. If so, it's REALLY all going to go down the toilet for them. McCain will not go quietly. It'll get ugly.
