Does this mean Bush's Honeymoon is over?

Now that the Republican contender has tied his fate with George W. Bush, does this mean that Democrats may end Bush's long honeymoon, and challenge McCain by challenging Bush?

It is instructive to remember just how long Bush has been given a free ride, a seven year honeymoon. And while it is sometimes the case that a president's final year finds its share of cushions, it is more than clear that Bush has been cushioned all along.

McCain/Bush
Isn't Pain Fun!

But since Bush can't actually be on the ticket, due to a prior engagement with the bottle, and laws, it will therefore be either

McCain/Lieberman
Isn't Pain Fun!

or

McCain/Romney
21st Century Schizoid Honkies

I'm only saying...
