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.

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.

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

That picture represents a match made in heaven if I've ever seen one!"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same results is the definition of insanity. " Albert Einstein.
