Sen. Joe biden will be on in a moment on Hardball with Chris Mathews. They will discuss this as a ticket potential. If that happened, Bush will be a passing thought as soon as it was announced (if that could only be true).

Wadda you think?;)

Johh McCain is the man. Even though it won't happen it would be good for McCain I think. I mean people think that the VP position is pretty worthless, but look at what Cheney was able to do.

I doubt McCain would jump parties to do this. And I just do not get McCain's appeal. Him being on a ticket as VP would not increase the likely hold I would vote for either Bush or Kerry.

The VP doesn't HAVE to be the same party as the president... Lincoln pulled it off. But then he died, and they impeached Johnson because they didn't like him. :) I don't know if Kerry would mind having a republican on his ticket, but the democratic party sure would.

the democrats just want their man to get in power and if it took a republican as vp they sure would go for that.

but we all know that mccain wouldnt be vp for a commie-lib like kerry, he has said as much, so continue to dream on democrats

McCain has said, perhaps somewhat jokingly, that he would consider it if asked. Unfortunately this would require some bipartisan support and a willingness to work together that doesn't actually exist in our government. I hold little hope for this, although I wouldn't mind seeing it.

I'd rather see McCain with the republican nomination in this race though than anything.

Why does everybody disregard the fact that the man said "No scenario" four times? I wonder if the pundits are spending too much time playing Fantasy Basketball or something.

Like CAD said - It's not going to happen.

^^^ I'd actually forgotten that. You're right. The media quoted him (if you can call that out of context butchery a quote) a lot saying he would consider it. In passing I did see a more expanded quote somewhere, where he said there was no scenario he could see that would allow that. Or something to that effect.

I would still like to see it though.

WTF is the difference who heads the ticket? In the end it's the issues that matter. When a bill is sent to the president's desk, will he pass it or veto it? Doesn't matter if the Dems end up with Sharpton, Hillary or Kucinich in that seat, they'd each sign for more taxes, partial birth abortions, and taking away your chance at SS privatization, school vouchers, and tort reform.

Yes they are. You don't think they get paid to report and analyze news, do you? That'd be just plain silly.

I don't think its a winner at all. I think a mixed ticket would turn people off. I like chocolate ice cream, I like vanilla ice cream. I hate twist.

There's to many political philosophy questions that would be raised and ruin the credibility of both canidates of they tried to unite.

I for one hope its Kerry/Mccain, so Bush can crush both of them at once.
