The media cannot contain their passion for getting John Kerry elected. Despite numerous denials that he would accept the job of Vice President, John McCain is being used in a new CBS poll to test Kerry's popularity.
McCain has continued to face questions about joining his fellow Vietnam veteran Kerry on a ticket, despite having insisted that he is not interested in doing so. America’s voters, meanwhile, do have interest in such a bi-partisan slate: a hypothetical Kerry/McCain pairing holds a 14-point advantage over President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney, nearly double the 8-point lead Kerry has alone over Bush.
The logical next question in this poll should have been what Bush's poll numbers would be against Kerry if he ditched Cheney for John McCain. Why don't we do a poll and see the popularity of a Bush/Liberman ticket? It's no surprise that the only hypothetical scenario involves something that makes the dour Kerry seem electable courtesy of the dynamic McCain.
Will the voters go and ruin all of the media's hopes for John Kerry?
