What's this about Kerry/McCain??
I apologize if this is old news, but I heard a couple of different places in the media that McCain expressed some interest in the possibility of running with Kerry. I assume he was joking, but the reports I heard seemed to take it seriously. Has anyone heard any more about this?

1. He said that
he's NOT interested, not running as vp, it's just another clone of the 'Clinton's running' crap. I don't understand why people (not you, but the media) can't hear NO when it's being shouted at them! They love to circulate these stories over and over. Is it to promote the image that we can't manage to come up with two qualified Democrats to run for P and VP??

2. hopefully
moderate republicans and independents, the people who like McCain will just see this as a sign that Bush is not for them. Bush is for some other wacky right wing nation that they don't want to be a part of. Who knows, I'm still hoping McCain just jumps the aisle but stays in the senate. With the senate and the white house.. but I'm getting way ahead of myself.

3. As I see the MCCain thing
McCain to me is a lazy slacker, as Bush is. However he is to be commended for his service in the government and in the War,
MCCain finished next to last in his graduating class at West Point and bragged he wished he had been last..dosen't this picture show a similarity to Bush , even the arrogance

NOW the thing with MCCain, is nothing more than MCCain trying to make his support of Bush a little more valuable, when he endorses him in the coming months

4. I think it could happen
I have heard this too, and I think it might happen. I mean, why would McCain endorse Bush. McCain is against war, and Bush, well can't seem to go three days without saying 'Iraq' or 'War' or 'Iraq War'. I personally think it would be a good thing if McCain ran as VP with Kerry. They would have Bush on the military, and we could get swing states that are going for Bush and Kerry 50/50. I dunno though. I just want Bush to go back to Texas.
