I'm confused:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Sen. John Kerry was on this program and I asked him if he'd consider asking you to be his running mate . . . . Are you open to the idea?

MCCAIN: No. I'm a Republican. It's hard for me to imagine that a pro-life, free trading, defense and deficit hawk would be acceptable to the Democrat Party. It's always flattering to hear one's name mentioned but I do not intend to leave the Republican Party.

STEPHANOPOULOS: A lot of Democrats think this is a dream ticket. So, there's no chance you'll reconsider?

MCCAIN: I cannot envision a scenario, George. As I say, it's flattering. But I have no view where I could leave the Republican Party.

STEPHANOPOULOS: OK. You're not quite being General Sherman but I think you're clear. [End of Excerpt]

It's simple. McCain misunderstood the word "entertain". The context in which he said it indicates that he would allow Kerry to finish the question before he said "no".

I'm no McCain fan, but this is out of the realm of possibility, even for him.

Don't be confused. I was watching the interview this morning with McCain and he did state everything in the article but he also stated he was supporting Bush for re-election.

If you're confused, then the Leftist Media has succeeded. That was tossed out there just to make it look like John F'em Ke(rr)y was open-minded. Al Sharpton has more of a chance being on Ke(rr)y's ticket than McShame, especially once he finds out just how much of the spirit of McShame-Slimeroad Ke(rr)y and his fellow DemonRAT travellers are violating.

Of course, we are talking about McShame here, who flips about as often as Ke(rr)y, so don't quote me if I turn out to be wrong :-) I doubt I am, though.
