Actually, if you think about it, this would be seen as a party switch over by a lot of middle of the road people I think. I believe that it was Tip O'Neill who favored the dance with the one that brung ya phrase. Loyalty means a lot to the American people and I really think that this could kill Kerry and McCain. It is highly important to people that politicians (while swarthy and tricky) at least stick with the party that they associate themselves with. We saw what happened to that one guy that jumped parties after the 2000 election, he wasn't elected again. I think that a Kerry/McCain ticket would bring about the same problems as when the United States first started out with the loser being the Veep, one will resent the other or one will disagree with the POTUS and disaster struck and that's why the office of Veep isn't looked upon as a very desirable position is because of the way it started out. If they were both Independents I could see it working out, but one is a Democrat, the other a Republican, and I just don't think that the American people would take too kindly to that.
