[Paradise]

Chief of Staff Closes Door on Idea

(snip)
"John Kerry is a close friend of mine. We have been friends for years," McCain said Wednesday when pressed to squelch speculation about a Kerry-McCain ticket. "Obviously I would entertain it."

1. Puke! I hope not, McCain is a repub plant if ever I saw one!

I don't trust that two tongued weasel.

2. but then again, i'll

entertain anything :crazy:

[Cat Atomic]

3. If Kerry chooses John McCain as his running mate,

I won't vote for him.

[Ninchik]

4. What utter garbage.

Kerry can't run with someone who is anti-abortion. And he cannot run with a Republican.

Would Mr. McCain care to repudiate his party?

8. Hi Ninchik!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

5. I will never happen.

6. you won't?

10. ...oops...meant to say "It will never happen".

7. mccain is a RW maniac

this one of the more ridiculous notions i've seen on DU.

[Vitruvius]

9. If Kerry runs with McCain and wins, the Rethugs can assassinate Kerry and

thereby come back to power. Because McCain is a Republican thru-and-thru...

The way you keep from being assassinated is to choose a VP that the Rethugs/rich/defense contractors do NOT want to make president. Which is why Clinton was wise to choose Al Gore.

[Disturbed]

11. No on McCain

I hope W. Clark is asked and accepts.

[teryang]

12. McCain is a rigid explosive personality

...from the far right. He is absolutely unqualified for higher office.

[Hippo_Tron]

13. You don't put a Republican on a democratic presidential ticket...

Not even somebody like Lincoln Chafee. The speculation is interesting but it won't happen.
