Kerry and McCain to join forces?

[Gan]

WASHINGTON - The game inside the Beltway now focuses on John Kerry's pick of a running mate. The same game rages inside Kerry's campaign headquarters.


If there is a consensus among Kerry aides about the boldest and most potent pick, it is Sen. John McCain of Arizona - a Republican.

While Kerry has talked about his search with few people, many high-level staffers believe McCain will get serious consideration.

The other name heard most frequently is that of Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., who defended Kerry last week in a CNN interview. In the primaries, however, Kerry questioned Edwards's ability to deliver Southern votes.

Not only could McCain help Kerry pick up Electoral College votes in a pivotal Southwestern state, but the former Vietnam POW would also be a staunch ally for what is expected to be a fierce battle with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

There's a lot of potential there, and I would certainly vote for Kerry/McCain. I don't think much conflict would arise from being part of different parties; that hasn't been a problem since the election of 1800. Agreement between the two individuals is more important than the fact that they align themselves with "opposing" parties.

Since I'm not in agreement with either one of them individually, joining forces would not be to any great advantage for getting my vote.

Not to mention its like a last ditch effort for the bottom of the barrel.

Ummm, this article is from 3 years ago, when Kerry was picking a running mate for the 2004 election. Kerry isn't even running next year, let alone won the nomination.

Wow I wish I clicked that link now.

I thought there was some breaking news that Kerry was running in the primary.

The "what is expected to be a fierce battle with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney." didn't tip you off?

[Bobmuhthol]

I didn't really read it word for word. I just took it on good faith that the article was both accurate and current.

You've got to be older than 16 to vote anyways Bob. No sweat off your back.

Shit I didn't realize that the election was going to be before 2008.
