McCain!!

CBS poll shows that Sen. John McCain would give Kerry's campaign a strong edge over Bush-Cheney Holy crap. It didn't even occur to be that such a bi-partisan ticket is possible. Is there any kind of precedent for this? (Seriously, I'm asking.)

The notion of a bland Democratic candidate (whose strongest suit, the incumbent's increasing unpopularity, is out of his own control) choosing a centrist, straight-spoken Republican as a running mate falls squarely into so-crazy-it-just-might-work territory, and would shatter the caked-on cynicism covering this whole election so far. To my eyes, anyway.

I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up, since everything in this process tends towards the dull and tiring, but it's exciting to ponder.
