Wow. I didn't think Kerry had the balls to even offer it to him.
To: ChicagoHebrew
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?
To: MizSterious
"McCain senses that Kerry is a loser."That's the ONLY reason McInsane rejected the VP offer...
Of course, it wouldn't stop him from accepting Hitlery's 2008 VP offer.
To: AmishDude
Same here. It's such a manifestly stupid idea, I don't know why I gave my junior senator so much credit as to assume he wouldn't actually go for it. ;)
To: ChicagoHebrew
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: Blood of Tyrants
"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."
A Pro-life Republican no less. Kerry is a huge loser.
To: Blood of Tyrants
They could have called it the "Use your illusion" ticket, make pretend one is Republican and the other Irish.
To: ChicagoHebrew
After this past week, it would have been a cheesy move, even for McCain.

It makes me wonder if he actually made the offer in the first place. He might have, knowing McCain would never accept. McCain won't keep quiet about it.
