Do you think McCain will be offered a job in the Obama administration? Something using his military experience, perhaps?

Maybe we'll know more after their meeting at Obama's Chicago office.
Clip:
"It's well known that they share an important belief that Americans want and deserve a more effective and efficient government, and will discuss ways to work together to make that a reality," Obama spokesman Stephanie Cutter said in announcing the meeting.
Cutter also said the two will be joined at Obama's Chicago transition office by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a McCain confidant, and Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the Illinois Democrat whom Obama has chosen to be his White House chief of staff.

His military experience of 40 years ago? Doubtful.

Far too many more who have current expertise .
He, like other Republicans, may be asked for some contribution but I hope the Democrat Obama administration keeps Republican influence low....they're not the party that was elected.

Its possible.....If you paid attention to what Obama said about McCain in has campaign speeches, he said "in terms of the economy" he is like George Bush. Obama could put him on a non-economic related post. I think it would show good will and could be a way for Obama to reach out to many John McCain supporters. Obama said he wanted to unite the country.

I don't think he will be offered any position.
