Will people stop trying to get McCain to be Kerry's VP?

This is getting quite ridiculous. Even fellow Senate Democrats are trying to push McCain to be Kerry's VP. How about a nice spot as SecDef or something similar. We do not need an ardent Republican as our running mate (and make no mistake, while there's no love lost for the Shrub, he's still a conservative Republican at heart). The only way this can work is if McCain defects for the Democratic Party, and I don't think he can pull that off.

However, he is the best kind of politician--in the sense that he's not so blindly partisan as to vote against things he believes in just because party leadership so dictates. We'll need all the help we can get if Republicans still control Congress after Election Day. So, let's make sure we have him as someone to work after Bush goes back to Crawford.
