Wow. I didn't think Kerry had the balls to even offer it to him.

Well, he offered the VP slot, and then he didn't.
He was for it before he was against it.

McCain senses that Kerry is a loser. As ambitious as he is, he would likely avoid jumping onto a sinking ship.

Kerry will do ANYTHING to try and win
McCain was smart to reject it .. his political career would have been toast if he did take the offer

It koes to show you that Kerry himself considers his position weak to have to ask a REPUBLICAN (even if he more of a RINO) to be his VP to boost his stock.

McCain wouldn't want the VP slot even on a ticket that was a sure winner. What would be left of McCain's political career if he ran with Kerry and lost?

For one thing, if McCain were to try running for VP he'd have to resign as senator of Arizona. We don't allow dual campaigns here... you're running for one office, you quit your existing one immediately. And Gov Napalo'reno would appoint a Dem senator in a heartbeat if that happened. It would be the end of McCain's career and a huge gamble.

Honestly, I thought it was a media-created phenomenon. Who knew?

McCain doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who could be number two in any hierarchy, much less a number two to a pompous idiot SOB like Kerry.
To: ChicagoHebrew
After this past week, it would have been a cheesy move, even for McCain.

This is actually a sign of great weakness on Kerry's part. A (D) who thinks he's going to win doesn't ask an (R) to be his running-mate.
To: ChicagoHebrew
Both officials said Kerry stopped short of offering McCain the job, sparing himself an outright rejection that would make his eventual running mate look like a second choice.
LOL. What a loser.
To: ChicagoHebrew
a Democratic official who spoke on condition of anonymity because Kerry has insisted that his deliberations be kept privateSome people just can't keep their pie holes shut.

To: ChicagoHebrew
I believe we have a law in Arizona that you cannot be on the ballot for two offices at the same time. I don't think that McCain would want to give up his Senate seat. Just remember that neither Leiberman or Kerrey have to resign in order to run; unlike Bob Dole who did the right thing.

Why doesn't every Dems favorite Rep Senator put his time to better use and start badmouthing the Dems for their abuse of the reforms on Campaign Finance they were so much in favor of. BARF!

Just McCain looking for a little publicity at this time.
He is just so darned petty! Be nice if he retired, sooner rather than later.
