    Democrats say McCain nearly abandoned GOP

    Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was close to leaving the Republican Party in 2001, weeks before then-Sen. Jim Jeffords (Vt.) famously announced his decision to become an Independent, according to former Democratic lawmakers who say they were involved in the discussions.

    In interviews with The Hill this month, former Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) and ex-Rep. Tom Downey (D-N.Y.) said there were nearly two months of talks with the maverick lawmaker following an approach by John Weaver, McCain’s chief political strategist.

    Democrats had contacted Jeffords and then-Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-R.I.) in the early months of 2001 about switching parties, but in McCain’s case, they said, it was McCain’s top strategist who came to them.

    At the end of their March 31, 2001 lunch at a Chinese restaurant in Bethesda, Md., Downey said Weaver asked why Democrats hadn’t asked McCain to switch parties.

    Downey, a well-connected lobbyist, said he was stunned.

    Actually I think mclamebrain is a spy for them.

    31scout I love your avatar. I have to laugh everytime I see it because I can picture kennedy being too drunk and dropping mclamebrain while he's falling. (if that is what he is doing.)

    That picture represents a match made in heaven if I've ever seen one!

    Sippy,
    When I found that picture, I couldn't resist. I still laugh when I look at it.
