From that point of view, McCain seems to me the guy that would owe the least and therefore have the ability to pick the best people for all of the important jobs (even FEMA).

Pgardn,
McCain has already gone "all in" with the "surge".
I hope it works out for him, but I don't think so.
If it doesn't, he's a "fold" and walks away from the table. Rudy isn't far behind.
And, yes, your thoughts on GW are correct. Some "legacy".
