unity ticket?

["Devine, James" <jdevine@xxxxxxx>]

from MS SLATE:
Yesterday, >The NY {TIMES] fronts a story that quotes some prominent Democrats
talking up the notion of a John Kerry-John McCain ticket for the
November election. Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, and former
Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey--both of whom have been mentioned as
possible vice-presidential picks themselves--are getting excited
about the prospect of a "unity government," which wouldn't
require McCain to quit the GOP (though it would mean he couldn't
appoint any judges who would overturn Roe v. Wade, according to
Kerrey). Democratic strategist Chris Lehane, who used to work for
Kerry, compares a Kerry-McCain partnership to "the Yankees
signing A-Rod." And perhaps most tantalizingly of all, an unnamed
Democratic official who works for the Kerry campaign says the
presumptive nominee himself "continues to be interested" in
McCain. Everyone agrees that the selection of the
straight-talking Arizona Republican, who, like Kerry, is a
Vietnam veteran, would instantly transform the race. There's just
one problem: McCain's statement yesterday that, "I have totally
ruled it out."<
 
comment:
 
someone actually thought seriously about a Kerry-Kerrey ticket?? the best that can be said is that the latter is a friend of Jon Stewart. (I thought people thought that the Left was dumb (after all, we lose all the time). If the Middle is coming up with ideas like this...) 
 
I'm afraid that all of us who look forward to a Redsox/Cubs "world" series are alienated by that A-Rod comment.
