Well, hopefully that'll damage McCain's chances in the general election.

Doubt it.

I don't think this endorsement is going to do anything either way. Of course Bush would pick McCain over either Democrat.

Bush made me laugh out loud. He was being so silly!

Who else would he endorse? Hilary? I mean come on this is not shocking, and people are going to know that it is just for show and not take it seriously. This will not have any affect of McCains campaign.

Of course he endorsed him....McCain is George Bush Jr. Jr.
I heard him talking the other day about "big spending liberals" and staying the course over in Iraq.

juju, almost all Republican's point out that Liberals are big spenders. They do this because it is true.

I didn't see this but I heard a commentary on the radio which also was on a morning tv show stating that a perfect running mate would be.... Jeb Bush (bro to W and former gov. of FL). Don't know if anyone would think that was a good idea- no change coming then, but I never thought of that.
George Sr. and George Jr. endorsements come with a price.....

I don't think this will affect McCain in any way.

Jeb has been brought up a few times and pretty much everyone has counted him out for the VP nom. There's no reason to take him on.

If W. wasn't Pres I doubt anyone would really be mentioning Jeb's name in relation to the VP.

Additionally, I don't think McCain would want a Bush in his office.

But maybe he'd like a nice ficus in his office. Who knows?

I agree mymellowman. I was surprised anyone would even put it out there.

Eh, I don't think this is such a big deal actually. He's the President. McCain is the nominee for his party. It will help him with those who like Bush and those who don't like Bush probably aren't looking to McCain much, anyway.

Jeb is the one Bush I do like, besides maybe Barbara Sr. But no, having a Bush in the VP slot will not help. Not that having W's nomination will help.

NOOOO, stay away from the Mac, Bushy

Really friends? Mmmm, maybe God came to Bush and told him to call him friend.

I don't think this will make a bit of difference. McCain's the GOP nominee, Bush has to endorse him...

This isn't a big deal. It makes sense that he would endorse him.

Seriously ... I mean this really is no surprise. Why would it hurt his chances ??????? America put Bush in Office two terms .. somebody must trust his judgment.

If it were Hil or Barack Id be shocked but this is not a shocker at all.

I'd think it might hurt his chances given how low Bush's approval rating has dropped since his last election. I think the American public has learned their lesson about him by now.

This is news? Of course he'll support McCain, the two share the exact same views (which are the same views that made the country the mess it is today.) Ugh, Bush & McCain get on my nerves.

Jude C - I agree with you 100%!

Remember Tuesday? That was the day Bush's ballot got counted in TX -- a day he wouldn't say for whom he voted. Duh he endorses McCain. He's the R nom. Really, I think you are dumb if this affects your vote. The leading Republican endorsed the Republican.

I know this will send shockwaves through the universe, but I'm predicting DNC chair Howard Dean will endorse either Hillary or Barack once one of them gets the nomination.

In a month, he went from the "straight talk express" to the "George Dubya Playbook." He doesn't realize that the majority of American's want a reversal of all the Bush policies. They say that Bush still has the support of the Republican base. So much support from his Republican base that many Republicans are crossing over parties to vote for Obama...
