WASHINGTON - John Kerry (news - web sites) and John Edwards (news - web sites) are still fighting for the Democratic presidential nomination, but a new poll puts a Kerry-Edwards ticket ahead of the incumbents, President Bush (news - web sites) and Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites).


Both Kerry and Edwards are basically tied with Bush in head-to-head matchups in a CBS News poll released this weekend. But when Kerry-Edwards are matched against Republican Bush-Cheney, the Democrats lead 50 percent to 42 percent. None of the hypothetical matchups included independent candidate Ralph Nader (news - web sites).


When CBS' Dan Rather asked Kerry and Edwards during a debate Sunday in New York about the possibility of joining forces on a Democratic ticket, both said such talk was premature.


Kerry, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, said he's not prepared to talk about running mates "and I don't think John Edwards is prepared to say he would run with me."

1. This poll is a joke.

The corporate media has been pushing Edwards so the poll numbers mean nothing.
