McCain in 1999: Bush "As Dumb as a Stump"


I found this interesting, as there is speculation at the Huffington Post, on whether or not McCain voted for Bush in 2000. Arianna Huffington says No, but in fact he might have, only he and possibly his wife know for sure. The author in this article, had a fond memory of a vacation she took with the McCain's in '99, and this occurred. I strongly agree with her conclusion.

Always the goods hosts, the McCains also invited us to spend the day with them, including for barbeque, a favorite of John's. And as McCain flipped burgers, I could not help but ask his views about then candidate George W. Bush.

"He's as dumb as a stump," McCain offered. We then went on to discuss other matters (including Vietnam) but that quote remains seared in my memory.

So how the McCains actually voted that November is between them and their voting booth. But if John McCain did end up voting for Bush, then by his own admission he voted for a stump.
