McCain & Dobson Stalemate Continues
You know the old expression, "Mi casa y su casa", meaning "My house is your house." Apparently the sentiment between James Dobson and John McCain is more like, "My house but not your house."
During the primary, Dobson was pretty clear that he was no McCain fan. After McCain sealed the Republican nomination, Dobson must have found the prospect of Obama or Clinton even scarier. He then offers a fig leaf in the form of an invitation to Dobson's Focus on the Family's headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Family Policy Council gathered on May 9 and word was out that McCain had rebuffed the invite.
The McCain camp responded that this was not a rude refusal. McCain was scheduled to be in Denver on May 2 and invited Dobson to his hotel suite for an unlimited visit. Dobson declined and again offered for McCain to come to Colorado Springs. McCain in turn declined once again.
It appears that neither man wants to meet the other unless it is on his own turf. And so the hatchet is yet to be buried.

Dobson does not need McCain. McCain is the one who will have to give or else he is going to have to put an evangelical on the ticket. The three that make the most sense are Huckabee, Palin, and Watts. They are all charasmatic individuals who can speak. They would make a plausible President and help him energize his base. Palin could help him with women and Huckabee and Watts can speak to the working class voters.
