Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who has been asked for months whether he would join the Kerry ticket, said Wednesday
he has never been offered the job of Kerry’s running mate and would not accept such a position. He declined to comment on whether he and Kerry had discussed a unity ticket. The Associated Press reported that discussions ended last week with McCain rejecting Kerry’s request to consider being his running mate.
“I’m not going to talk about private conversations I’ve had with senators. I’m just not going to do that.
But I was never offered that,” McCain said. The Arizona Republican said he will campaign for Bush’s re-election.
