	Bush Endorses McCain 3/5/2008 2:35 PM

The President of the United States endorsed the man he beat for the Republican nomination in 2000 to be his successor.

John and Cindy McCain took a trip to the White House today to have lunch with George Bush followed by a public pronouncement of support.

McCain locked up the GOP nomination last night after winning enough delegates to get passed the magic 1191 number. CNN quotes Sen. Kay Baily Hutchison of Texas saying that McCain can now focus on winning the support of the party's base, the 30% of the electorate that doesn't like him and still approves of the job Bush is doing.

What a fantastic shift of positions for Bush. A man who was unfit to be president argues successfully that his opponent is the unprepared one, drives the country into the ground during his tenure in office, to only then endorse the man who he beat just eight years before. That's politics we suppose. But While McCain is busy trying to get the base behind him, Democrats are salivating over McCain's buddy-buddy routine with a figure as toxic as Bush. If only they didn't have the whole nomination mess still in their way, they'd be hard at work beating McCain already.
