WASHINGTON - Republican Sen. John McCain allowed a glimmer of hope Wednesday for Democrats fantasizing about a bipartisan dream team to defeat President Bush (news - web sites).




McCain said he would consider the unorthodox step of running for vice president on the Democratic ticket ? in the unlikely event he received such an offer from the presidential candidate.


"John Kerry (news - web sites) 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."

If Kerry can get McCain on his ticket I really think he'd have a winner on his hands - could be a great move for both of them in my opinion.

It won't happen. But it would be Could Be. Before all you right guys get wild. It Could Be best thing that happen for ALL of us in a few years.

Agree - this could be a huge step to shaking up the two party system as we know it.

Then McCain kills Kerry and we finally have a third party candidate for President

kerry

kerry

may have to take on hilary as v.p....

if kerry wins in november(and i think that last 5 incumbents that trailed in the polls in mid-march all lost),he`ll assuredly be the democratic nominee in 4 years.....

and if he takes a guy,like say edwards,as a running mate,chances are that when kerry is through,edwards will inherit the mantle....much like gore did after clinton....


that leaves hilary`s dream of being president in the lurch.....

so,if kerry doesn`t take" the hil" on as v.p.,he can look forward to having the clinton`s and their cronies pot shotting him for the duration.....

i wouldn`t want that miserable shrike back stabbing me for 8 years....


he`ll take hilary....

or Hillary will sabotage this election and run in '08

how about a Bush/Zell Miller ticket??

any of you Democrats read Miller's latest book?

I don't think it will happen either. On a related note, I just saw McCain on tv this morning on Sportscenter talking about the drug testing in MLB. He has aged horribly lately, and looks much older than he really is. I guess being a POW in Vietnam probably didn't help either, though!

 

[Master Capper]

He is one tough SOB wasnt he locked in a box for almost a year and still survived with most of his sanity intact?

 

[Blackman]

Yes - don't know all of the specifics but McCain was a POW in Vietnam.

Pretty hardcore guy.

I believe he was held for over 3 years. I might be wrong but im real close. He a common sence type of man. That's why many like him no matter if Dem's or Reb.

john mccain is my favorite politician because he sort of a rebel, by politicans standards & tends to cross party lines on various subjects.

i never believed that mccain would be kerry's vp because they disagree on numerous subjects & mccain is too charasmatic to be anybody's vp candidate.

I respected the way he stood up and was critical of the religious right during the last republican primaries. Didn't help him get elected but showed me a strong independent streak which I can admire.
