Why does slate.com want McCain as a the Republican nominee for
president? There is too much media involvement in rehabilitating
McCain's image.

Oh come on, that article was written in 2000.

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't McCain run for President in 2000?

Chris Matthews, MSNBC/NBC, was hoping to get McCain to challenge bush in
2004.


Your question, beginning with "Why does slate.com..." is in the present
tense, meaning that you think slate.com wants McCain as a nominee NOW, in
the present. The article was written in the year 2000. That's why your
question got the response it did.
