Howard Fineman argues (correctly, I think), that Sen. John McCain wouldn't seriously consider running as John Kerry's running mate. But the mere fact that it could even be contemplated reflects very negatively on McCain. That he despises Bush is no secret. That he is incapable of recognizing what a vastly worse person Kerry is, however, just brings forward even more of the doubts many aready have about his conservative credentials.
And to think... November isn't even close. And now, the money quote:
McCain’s rhetorical flirtation with the idea of becoming Sen. John Kerry’s running mate is just the latest act in an ongoing intramural psychodrama that began in 1999, and no amount of common geostrategic purpose in the post-9/11 world can end it.
