Bill,

There are two things that would make the McCain/Palin ticket a home run 
for me, unfortunately one requires they be elected first, and I don't 
think McCain would do the second:

1) He follow through and bring some Democrats into his cabinet
2) He announces that he will be a one-term candidate, and then honors 
that promise.
