What if Barack Obama offered John McCain a cabinet position? Obama offering McCain a Cabinet Position? I think McCain would accept. It would read something like thisby Aaron Bellyacher

The 2008 election season has come to an abrupt halt despite the lack of voting, or any debates between the two candidates.
The big announcement was made at the "Civil Forum" August 16th, 2008 in Lake Forest, California, at 6:45 PM, in front of a cheering live audience. The event was covered by CNN, MSNBC, PBS and Fox News(Fox coverage lasted until the announcement, when they cut to an update on Bigfoot and then re-runs of "Hannity's America.")
McCain supporters seem to be happy with the consolation prize, removing any doubt the Republican party knew they were doomed the day McCain took the nomination. The Republican Party officially disbanded at midnight, and Obama welcomed the neo-cons back into the Democratic Party with open arms. Someone close to the stage heard Barack saying "Welcome Home" as the former opponents shook hands.
Per the terms of the agreement, John McCain and George Bush legally cut all ties with the words "Republican," "Liberty," "Peace," "Conservative," (Except of course, in third person with the prefix "Neo-"...) and not surprisingly, "Values." Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly openly admit they never liked those words anyway.
Ron Paul supporters jumped at the chance to reclaim the brand. The New GOP published an updated platform that very same evening, amazingly using evidence and reason to shape and explain their positions. Finally, Republicans can once again say they stand for smaller government, a solid currency, and personal liberty.
Ron Paul purchased the RNC website from Dick Cheney for $87.00 cash, which Cheney immediately devoured and washed down with virgin tears. Ron Paul removed all the content from the website and replaced it with a copy of the Constitution and a Rick Astley video
The Republican National Convention was cancelled and replaced by a Miley Cyrus concert which sold out in 8 minutes. Protesters who already booked travel and transportation are still planning to demonstrate.
Ron Paul is hosting the Rally for the Republic the very same weekend and is expecting over 10,000 liberty minded activists to come and enjoy the official launch of the Campaign for Liberty. Although Ron Paul is now the Republican Nominee - George Bush has cancelled the election and announced Dick Cheney would be charge for the rest of the term. Despite protests by everyone, Bush used powers granted to him in the "America is Great" Bill that was passed by congress Sept. 13th, 2001
The Campaign for Liberty has filed suit to contest the decisions, but all U.S. courts are on hold until Condoleezza Rice finishes her summer revisions, due date: December, 2008

McCain – No Straight Talking Here
I think it’s insulting to Barack Obama and ludicrous for the media to have asked Barack Obama if he won the election for President would he consider having John McCain as part of his cabinet.
The idea is comparable to asking someone who won a race to share his or her trophy with the person who came in second. Forget the fact that the person you were running against was also throwing rocks at you the whole time.
Only in America would such a question even be asked of the first potential Black President of the United States.
To think that we’ve come so far in United States history that we would ask the first potential Black President to share his candidacy with the opposing side.
The question has never come up before between candidates running for President, but Republicans seem so desperate that they’ll say and do anything to give their nominee a lift in the polls.
The same question was presented to John McCain if he won, but of coarse if you think there’s a greater possibility that you will loose the election, you’re going to agree to the terms in hopes of landing a job in the highest office in government.
If John McCain doesn’t think Barack Obama has the experience to lead this country into the Twenty-first Century, why would he or anyone from his camp want to be a part of an “Obama Administration”?
