An idea whose time has come?

McCain/Bradley in 2008, the Centrist Ticket.  Let'em come to an agreement between themselves as to who becomes President and who becomes Vice President (they could, for example, let the Senate decide it, the Vice President being President of the Senate).  They're both smart, rational, intelligent moderates with ethics.

Think about it.

Oh, sure, the DNC and RNC would both have a cerebral aneurysm.  But if we -- all of us -- could talk the two of them into it, it might be just the sort of unifying move this country needs.

I think it would be reasonable to go back to the original system, where the runnerup becomes Veep. That'd give us Bush/Kerry right now, which would be better than Bush/Cheney.

Yup, I agree. I don't know exactly why it ever changed, but I seem to recall knowing approximately when it changed, and if my recollection is correct, it was about then things started really going downhill.
