McCain on Fox yesterday: KERRY MADE NO OFFER of VP.
snip...

SNOW: Well, you’re absolutely right though, it’s going to be fun to see. Now John Kerry, is it true that John Kerry asked you to be his vice president?

McCAIN: Uh, no. No, it was never offered.

SNOW: It was never offered. So, it may have been discussed elliptically, but never flat out request.

McCAIN: Never was an offer, no.

SNOW: When you had conversations, did you think it was a little weird that he’d be calling you, even in general terms about this sort of thing?

McCAIN: Well, he and I have been friends for a number of years because of our efforts on POWs and MIAs which was a very hot issue back in the early 90’s, a lot of people have forgotten about it, but it was a- and we worked together to try to resolve that issue and I appreciate the work that he did on it. And, so it’s not unusual for us to have conversations.

3. Is this BS still on the Shrub home page?
I sure have heard many references to Edwards being second choice, but only once, that I remember, have I heard about McCain refuting it.

4. I don't think anyone bought the "second choice" argument anyway
but it's good to hear McCain be honest about it. And he could have played it the other way, too, I imagine.

5. Yeah, but like a lot of crap they spew...
they lie long enough, some people start to belive it. Best to kill it now before it gets any life.
