McCain Talking to Closet Case as Possible Running Mate?

It looks like all the speculation about McCain considering Florida governor Charlie Crist as a running mate is true: He'd meeting with him, in addition to Romney and the Louisiana governor, Bobby Jindal. Either the McCain campaign is clueless, or they're just trying to make it seem like he's so moderate that he would actually think of bringing a guy with a lot of gay baggage onto to the ticket. McCain is, after all, going on Ellen today --to be aired on Friday -- trying to show that he's cool and can get down with the lesbo host just like the rest of them. I can't wait for the wingnuts to weigh in on all of this.
