Jim, let's not be too hard on Bob Packwood. If not for his
romantic streak, I would have never heard of Jo Stafford. But let's
see what our other possibilities are. McCain could return the favor
and offer the veep slot to John Kerry. (Or is it that John Kerry
should ask to be included on McCain's ticket? It's never been clear
to me who approached whom four years ago.) If we don't want to aim
that high, we could make it official and, playing on the name
recognition advantage this twosome already enjoys, go with
McCain-Feingold.
But to be serious for a moment: there's only one man
temperamentally suited to the slot, and besides he'd be a big hit
with conservatives: Fred Thompson.
