Schieffer asked McCain whether he would put Democrats in his Cabinet.
“Sure,” McCain replied. “I don't know how many. But I can tell you, with all due respect to previous administrations, it is not going to be a single, ‘Well, we have a Democrat now.’”
That’s an apparent reference to the sole Democrat in President Bush’s Cabinet, former Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta.
“It's going to be the best people in America, the smartest people in America,” McCain continued. “So many of these problems we face — for example, energy independence, what’s partisan about that? In other words, we've got to have people who are the best and the brightest. And I'll tell you, some of them I'll ask to work for a dollar a year.”

Just my opinion but I hope he doesn't...I do hope he would liaison with the opposite party for the common good...that goes for Obama as well...BUT.. I think most people want a clear choice... they want to know where their representative stands on issues..not guess.

Obama does not have a record of crossing party lines, so i doubt he will if he becomes president. McCain is known for working on both sides.

Yes that’s the point...they should not cross party lines... they should work to convince the opposite party that a compromise is to their advantage... Not willy nilly propose legislation contrary to their own party.... That does not work.

No guessing involved, KD. With the good of the country first.

Hi TheHeretic

You can't serve the good of the country if you can't get your legislation by your own party...dreaming will not help... got to be real
