Democrats claim McCain and his party nearly parted
What McCain almost never mentions are two extraordinary moments in his political past that are at odds with the candidate of the present: His discussions in 2001 with Democrats about leaving the Republican Party, and his conversations in 2004 with Sen. John Kerry about becoming Kerry's running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket.There are wildly divergent versions of both episodes, depending on whether Democrats or McCain and his advisers are telling the story. The Democrats, including Kerry, say that not only did McCain express interest but that it was his camp that initially reached out to them.

I WHOLEheartedly approve of this message.
Tie McCain to Bush and tie him to Kerry. Use the cognitive dissonance to paint him as a flip-flopper.
Hells, yes.
