We should keep in mind that none of these guys have great relationships with McCain. Domenici and McCain have traded insults: <a href="http://www.abqjournal.com/news/washington/1coleman04-27-08.htm" target="_blank">http://www.abqjournal.com/news/washington/1coleman04-27-08.htm</a> Grassley and McCain upped the ante, and had a shouting and shoving match: <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/20/john-mccain-charles-grass_n_97626.html" target="_blank">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/20/john-mccain-charles-grass_n_97626.html</a> And Cochran stated, for the record, that the thought of McCain as president “sends a chill down my spine” <a href="http://blog.reidreport.com/2008/01/thad-cochran-john-mccain-scares-me.html" target="_blank">http://blog.reidreport.com/2008/01/thad-cochran-john-mccain-scares-me.html</a> I don’t think it’s an accident that they all dismissed the idea of being his VP, and did so in a way that made him take a hit as well.
