Reply #57: Well, I've read all of the interchanges with other DUers

where you claim to have covered everything...

and you failed. Your missing the points (possibly intentionally)
that everyone else is making. Kerry did NOT offer the VP to McCain.
He MAY have asked if McCain wanted to be considered. Its an important
difference.

Would Kerry ask out of friendship AND RESPECT (part that you left out)?
I don't know. I do know (because I've founded two startups now) that
I seek out those to join me because first and foremost, I trust them.
I don't know that much about the Kerry/McCain relationship, but there
are a lot of reasons that Kerry might have to asking if McCain is
interested. Friendship might well be one of them.

Anyway, vote for whoever you want. I don't care. I'm voting for
Kerry even if he picks Tom Delay as his VP (though that would cause
me to wonder about his judgment). But I KNOW Bush's judgment.
End of story.
