Clintons to Endorse McCain?

Dreaming about a November match-up of Hillary and John McCain while campaigning in Charlotte, N.C., on Friday, Bill Clinton said, "I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country, and people could actually ask themselves who is right on these issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics."

This statement is of course outrageous and over the top. No more than any of the other and frequent Clinton attacks on Obama's readiness to lead, be Commander-in-chief, answering the phone at 3 AM, blah, blah, blah. (nor more outrageous that suggestions of 'McCarthyism' which the Clintons have themselves used to great effect.)

So when will someone summon the courage to ask the Clintons the obvious question:

Do you intend to endorse John McCain for President should you not be the nominee?

Their answers would be much more informative that the current tit for tat nonsense to which we are all being subjected. And the follow-up questions would extremely entertaining.
