Or maybe it depends on whose ox is being gored... (or whichever cliche you like).
One thing is for sure, there are times when it is blatanly obvious that we sometimes see the world rather differently. To wit, to reactions two this bite that McCain would "entertain" a veep-offer from Kerry:
James Joyner says:
Well, they both served in Vietnam (or so I’m told), they both hate George Bush, and they’re both Democrats.
Yet, Kevin Drum has a rather different reaction:
Yeah, John McCain, the "early foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution." He may be a nice guy to have a beer with, but he's really conservative, and the fact that he has an occasional spat with George Bush doesn't really change that. (emphasis his)
In any event, it is clear that Senator McCain evokes a range of reactions.

We have 8 months till the election, and air time needs to be filled. I have a feeling that this story is going to be played to death, no matter how nonsensical it is.
I am especially looking forward to the hyper-glorious reactions of Tim Russert and Chris Matthews.
