Sen. Joe Biden says he would support a Kerry-McCain ticket

Well, it seems more than one person is talking about John McCain (R, AZ) as a VP nominee in a "Unity ticket". Now THAT would be unprecedented. while the likelyhood is low, this illustrates how good it would be to wait on picking a VP. you have time to build anticipation. when you pick a VP they can start to attack him, but until then, its all giddy anticipation. from the show:

"Matthews: Let me ask you. Do you think McCain is seriously - and I mean this
professionally - flirting with the idea of accepting a second place on the
ticket with John Kerry, and creating a fusion ticket to run against the
President.

Biden: .....I think that this is time for unity in this country, and maybe it
is time to have a guy like John McCain - a Republican - on the ticket with a guy
he does like. They do get along. And they don't have fundamental disagreements
on major policies.

Matthews: Would you support that ticket ... for President?

Biden: I would. Yeah. If John Kerry said that's who he wanted, and McCain -
I'd encourage McCain to say yes. I doubt whether John would do it. I doubt
whether John McCain would do it. But, you know, we need some unity here, man.
The red states and the blue states - we got to have something to coalesce around
here.

Matthews: Well hearing you now Senator, he may say yes. Thank you very much.
Senator Joe Biden of Delaware. Ranking Democrat on Foreign Relations.

Biden also claims that foreign leaders have told him personally that they want a
change of administration..."


I know it may be politically embarassing (especially if they get cold feet later on and deny it) but i'd like to see the names of these foreign leaders that want bush out. Bush's response so far has been "WHO ARE THEY?" like a kid wondering who's gossiping on the playground about him! i'll give you a hint bushie...its the bulk of the world's leaders that would prefer to deal w/ anyone but you.
