He even offered to expand the veep's role to control defense and foreign policy. "You're out of your mind," McCain told Kerry. "I don't even know if it's constitutional, and it certainly wouldn't sell."

Certainly, McCain gets credit for his response.

But consider what this says about Kerry. In the midst of a war, he was prepared to farm out the responsibility for its conduct solely so that he might occupy the office.

In other words, he was running for the office not because he wanted the job, but because he wanted the title.

What a shallow, shallow man...

Bingo. Great analysis. Kerry wanted to "outsource" the most critically important duties of the presidency to a "moderate" Republician. Kerry would have been an incredibly weak leader; worse than Carter!

Just like Clinton. Not a bit interested in what would be right for the country, all he wanted was the title and the perks. We did dodge a bullet.

okie01- But consider what this says about Kerry. In the midst of a war, he was prepared to farm out the responsibility for its conduct solely so that he might occupy the office.

And yet, consider what it says about McCain - he's thought through how it might "sell" aspect of it more than he has it's constitutionality. What if it might have sold? What would McCain have said to Kerry then?
