McCain and blogger trade barbs over his 2000 vote
Fri May 9, 4:21 PM ET


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Did U.S. Republican presidential candidate John McCain vote for President George W. Bush in 2000?

Liberal Internet blogger Arianna Huffington says McCain told her he did not. But the Arizona senator says he did vote for Bush, a fellow Republican, in 2000 and campaigned for him all over the country after his own attempt to win the party's nomination failed.

snip...
A New York Times story about the spat noted other guests at the party said they also heard McCain's comments.

McCain says it never happened and he was loyal to Bush.

"I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004," he said in an interview with Fox News' "O'Reilly Factor" that aired on Thursday night.

"And not only that, far more important than a vote, I campaigned everywhere in America for him," McCain said. "I enjoyed it. I campaigned with him. I did everything I could to get him elected and re-elected president."

3. Guess he hasn't figured out that
claiming to be "loyal" to Bu$h contradicts his "maverick" meme, can't have it both ways IMO.

12. Yeah, big mistakes for him
At a time when oil prices and the economy are so bad, he should distance himself from Bush instead.

10. They even exchanged underwear - this will damage McCain in the GE
Not only does he say he was loyal to Bush, but he says he "enjoyed" campaigning for him. The closer McCain's image is to the ass Chimp, the further he gets from the Presidency.

16. McCain is wrong again. "(E)lected and re-elected president."
George was appointed president by the Supremes, not elected.
