If Obama loses the Democratic nomination, he should join McCain and we'll have a truly centrist ticket. Enough pandering to the bases, lets get a Republican that the blue states like and a Democrat that the red states like. Enough bickering, let's get some solutions. And while we are at it, lets vote out every incumbent in Congress.

putting the political suicide asside, that would be one unbeatable ticket.

I wouldn't mind the idea. But the media frenzy would be such a distraction that nothing could get done.
Considering McCain, despite his "maverick, independent" reputation gets an 82% or so rating by a conservative think tank, and Obama's "composite liberal score" is 95.5% (on that record that actually exists)..... I'm not seeing why people think it's a winning combo that could coalesce around a platform.
Unless, again, people are voting for "the person" and not "the policy".... or the fabulously maleable, "change".... but goodness knows I don't want to "marginalize" independents or any other sub group for asserting THAT!
He doesn't always fall in line and vote with Bush and the rest of the Republican sheep, e.g. He talks about working with, and actually has worked with Democrats. Obama uses the same rhetoric and had that same reputation in Illinois.
