McCain has high praise for Cheney
This is from July 2004:
At a July 15 appearance in Michigan, McCain dampened the speculation by calling Cheney “one of the most capable, experienced, intelligent and steady vice presidents this country has ever had.”

And this is from the 2007 biography of Cheney:
Asked whether he’d be interested in Cheney had the vice president not already have served under Bush for two terms, McCain said: “I don’t know if I would want him as vice president. He and I have the same strengths. But to serve in other capacities? Hell, yeah.”

Yeah. Wow. Why do I have a feeling he’s going to distance himself from stuff like this now.
