John McCain, We Hardly Knew Ye

According to AP, Senator John McCain is open to being Kerry's VP.

McCain said he would consider the unorthodox step of running for vice president on the Democratic ticket — in the unlikely event he received such an offer from the presidential candidate.

"John Kerry (news - web sites) is a close friend of mine. We have been friends for years," McCain said Wednesday when pressed to squelch speculation about a Kerry-McCain ticket. "Obviously I would entertain it."

Up until 30 minutes ago, I had thought that McCain was the obvious 2008 Republican candidate, whether Bush wins or not. Ooops. Bzzzzzt!!! Wrong again.

Once again, I'm reduced to wondering what the !@#% is this man smoking?
