Dad used to say all the time..."Never say never..."
As time goes on....I've come to think that McCain isn't really all that bright.
Besides that...whose to say those two don't mutate into some sort of out there third party...and call themselves the "Patriot Party" ,the "Vet's for Vision" Party...or the "Dos Amigo's" Party.....LOL!!
They are both dream-weaving wanna-be's....IMO
As Chairman of the Commerce Committee, he cannot afford to take a chance to run with Kerry and be ousted from his Chairmanship along with Armed Service committee assignments.
McCain wouldn't bring any votes to Kerry but it would sure get out every last conservative vote in America -- not a winning ticket. The Hill forgets that a lot of McCain support in 2000 came from crossover RATs!
