John Kerry: McCain's 'people ... approached me' in 2004

In an interview with Jonathan Singer of the liberal blog MyDD.com, Senator Kerry of Massachusetts says that Senator McCain of Arizona, or at least his staff, approached him about becoming his running mate in 2004.

This would be (seemingly) the reverse of the story that's been out for a long time that Mr. Kerry reached out to Mr. McCain. (This Washington Post story from 2004 gives the conventional account.)

Asked his thoughts on the recent Hill story about McCain's having considered switching parties back in 2001 (McCain's camp disputes it), Mr. Kerry said: "It doesn't surprise me completely because his people similarly approached me to engage in a discussion about his potentially being on the ticket as Vice President. So his people were active -- let's put it that way."


----------------------------------
As I've noted below, I won't be voting for McCain on Super Tuesday because of little things like, gang of 14, refusal to vote for tax cuts, and similar stunts. Rick Santorum has a great interview talking about the difficult hurdle that McCain constantly posed to the Republicans.

However, anyone who's THINKING of voting for McCain on Super Tuesday should know that along with him, you just might get a Democrat a VP. Not that VP's do anything, so again, it would just be a slap in the face to the Republican conservatives who would have voted for him.
