McCain VP talk is a red herring - It keeps the hounds away.
Edited on Sun May-16-04 12:07 PM by MikeG
The more the press eat the McCain BS, the less they ask about the real nominee until he has been properly vetted and focus grouped.

1. Thanks for starting another thread on this topic
Your point is so insightful and fresh it deserves its own thread. I mean, if you posted on an existing thread, no one would see it!

2. i think it's just like the hillary talk
it's about ratings. remember how much they would not stop talking about whether hillary will run this year for president. hillary, mccain, bill clinton get attention and ratings and sell things so they talk.

3. Makes Kerry look bi-partisan.
Edited on Sun May-16-04 12:11 PM by Old and In the Way
Talk is cheap, but it does tell moderates that Kerry is a real uniter unlike the naked emporer who surrounds himself with synccphants and like-thinking ideologues.

Won't happen, but it torques out the Republicans, so I have no problems with thequestion being asked over and over.

5. McCain has practically endorsed Kerry
just the two being genial toward each other goes against the Bush strategy of demonizing Kerry.

And every time the McCain V.P. discussion happens, people see again just how OK McCain is with Kerry, that his supposed support of Bush is just a formality.

6. I'll vote for Kerry anyway but this is the DEMOCRATIC ticket...
I just don't understand why we should put a REPUBLICAN on the DEMOCRATIC ticket.
