Opponents Meet Eye to Eye
Today McCain is traveling to Chicago inorder to meet with President-elect Obama to come through on his promise to, "do all in my power to help [Barack Obama] lead us through the many challenges we face." Is this meeting going to be a fruitful one or a failure, and is it possible for for McCain to seriously be apart of Obama's future decisions as president?

In my opinion, the meeting will definitely be fruitful. During an election, the candidates at times appear to be who they aren't..and in reality I think nothing bad can happen from a meeting like this. We have two great minds getting together with nothing in mind except furthering the good of our country.
I would definitely agree with Tyler that candidates are not the people they appear to be during the campaign. It has been noted that, while running, candidates do not behave or speak in ways they might have before they ran.
I think it will be fruitful but to answer the question McCain will not have any part in Obama plan for the solving our country's problems
I've heard alot of analysts say the "fruitful" meetings that occured between Bush and Obama following the election exemplifies democracy. This peaceful transfer of power defines America and a lot of other modernized countries.
I think throughout both campaigns, McCain and Obama have awknowleged each have a lot of good opinions etc. I think Obama would take into account what McCain says.
I think it's got to be awkward for McCain to just jump back into his old shoes. It will be hard for McCain to not be viewed as the man who lost to Obama.
True, but as his consession speech showed...he knows when he has lost...and he knows how to lose gracefully.
