If Kerry was so sure that he would be rejected, he's proven himself to be less politically astute than I imagined.

The headline being that "McCain rejected Kerry's overtures" is going to be played on by the rethug media for all it's worth. It's going to be brought up at the convention when he trots out his Democratic running mate, it's going to be used to give yet another reason for progressives who are on the fence about Kerry to stay home.

He is hoping this will make him look like a uniter, reaching across the aisle. I am afraid that the media/republicans are going make it look like he has no identity and is willing to do anything for votes.
