McCain't Gonna Work on Kerry's Farm...

Andrew Sullivan makes the argument for a Kerry/McCain ticket.

It would be a superb combination. I think most Republicans, deep down in places they don't talk about at parties, have wished in retrospect that McCain had won the 2000 GOP primary (Bush can thank his proud new message of compassionate conservatism, as well as some All-American push-polling). McCain commands respect from everyone. He was on the Daily Show last night, and when Stewart mentioned his name the left-leaning audience virtually erupted with applause. Why? Because he is an excellent specimen of a dying breed: Statesmen.

However, McCain has been very clear:

``I don't want to be vice president of the United States,'' Mr. McCain said on CBS, adding that he enjoyed his work in the Senate. ``I do not want to leave the Republican Party. I would not be vice president of the United States on either ticket.''

Sorry, buddy.
