Yahoo! News - McCain Urged to Join Ticket with Kerry
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sen. Joseph Biden, a senior Democrat, on Sunday urged Republican Sen. John McCain to run for vice president with the Democratic hopeful, Sen. John Kerry, in order to heal the "vicious rift" dividing America.

McCain, of Arizona, "categorically" ruled out standing with Kerry, but Biden, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he had no second choice.

"Do I think it's going to happen? No," he said. "But I think it is a reflection of the desire of this country and the desire of people in both parties to want to see this God-awful, vicious rift that exists in the nation healed, and John and John could go a long way to heal in that rift."

I think it's sad that the Dems can't come up with appealing candidates- that the idea of inviting a Pub on the ticket is the most exciting thing we can muster. It sure would be strange and weird and fascinating all at the same time.
