Just a quick entry to let you all know I'm still alive.
People seem to be all a-twitter about the latest CBS poll, which shows Kerry with an 8-point lead over Bush. But what they're really excited about is that if Kerry is matched up with John McCain as his running mate, his lead expands to a whopping fourteen points.
That's all well and good, but it's also a crack fantasy. If the Democrats put John McCain into the VP slot, who are they going to run for president in 2012? Granted, the VP isn't a shoo-in for the next nomination, but he (or, someday, hopefully, she) does have a leg up — why would they lend that leg up to a Republican, even if it's John McCain?
