Well, in all the hoopla, this may come as a buzz-kill, but it's something that's gonna come up:
In 2004, Joe Biden urged Kerry to pick McCain as his VP candidate.
WASHINGTON - 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.
"I’m sticking with McCain," Biden said.
Link is here.
Can you say ..... "AWKWARD ....!"
Biden did go on to say this:
"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."
So was he just making a point, or was he serious?
The irony continues, with the article quoting Kerry as saying he would love to make John McCain Secretary of Defense were he to win the Presidency.
Perhaps all this brotherly love was before this:
Sometimes things are just plain weird.
