Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.

~William Shakespeare, “The Tempest”

William F. Buckley commenting upon Senators Clinton and McCain

“…Clinton, of New York, is “a very consequential woman with an extraordinary background,” he said. “Her thought is kind of woozy left, not in my judgment threatening.” She is “a phenomenon, a woman candidate who might easily be president,” Buckley said. …”

“Arizona Senator John McCain, the most widely known of the potential Republican candidates, is “a remarkable human being,” Buckley said. “I don’t think that his name comes to mind automatically as somebody who over a period of years has addressed problems with fruitful thinking, let alone with consistent thinking.”

Election 2008 Clinton McCain Ticket – Are You Kidding?

While some Democrats dream of a Obama/Clinton ticket for 2008, some Republicans dream of a McCain/Clinton fusion ticket.

Dream on.

Neither are likely, but politics does make for very strange bedfellows.

It would certainly be the conservatives worse nightmare.

The conservative base would close their wallets and stay home.

Ann Coulter will have a nervious breakdown.

Run Al Run!

The election could go either way–a toss up.

Seems that both McCain and Clinton share similiar views about Iran:

Security and Opportunity for the Twenty-first Century

Hillary Rodham Clinton

“…Iran poses a long-term strategic challenge to the United States, our NATO allies, and Israel. It is the country that most practices state-sponsored terrorism, and it uses its surrogates to supply explosives that kill U.S. troops in Iraq. The Bush administration refuses to talk to Iran about its nuclear program, preferring to ignore bad behavior rather than challenge it. Meanwhile, Iran has enhanced its nuclear-enrichment capabilities, armed Iraqi Shiite militias, funneled arms to Hezbollah, and subsidized Hamas, even as the government continues to hurt its own citizens by mismanaging the economy and increasing political and social repression.

As a result, we have lost precious time. Iran must conform to its nonproliferation obligations and must not be permitted to build or acquire nuclear weapons. If Iran does not comply with its own commitments and the will of the international community, all options must remain on the table.

On the other hand, if Iran is in fact willing to end its nuclear weapons program, renounce sponsorship of terrorism, support Middle East peace, and play a constructive role in stabilizing Iraq, the United States should be prepared to offer Iran a carefully calibrated package of incentives. This will let the Iranian people know that our quarrel is not with them but with their government and show the world that the United States is prepared to pursue every diplomatic option. …”
