The case for Kerry/McCain

Five years of torture in a North Vietnam POW camp wasn't enough, Ignatius seems to imply, McCain should endure another huge sacrifice and join the Kerry ticket.

In normal times, people would accept McCain's response to joining Kerry: "I have totally ruled it out." But these aren't normal times, and McCain's response is unworthy. Simply put, the country needs him. The logic of a Kerry-McCain ticket isn't to win an election but to provide leadership for a divided country at war.

Well, I'd like to see it win an election.
