Loser Gets VP

Here’s my idea. Instead of making this election one big divisive nonsense, especially since prior to the runup McCain and Obama were pretty much aligned on many issues, and especially since Pallin is a complete joke of a candidate, and especially since the negative ads are not at all helpful to our democracy, my idea is just to have Mccain and Obama on the ballot. Whoever loses gets VP.

Doesn’t an Obama-McCain or McCain-Obama ticket seem so much more appealing?

One thought on “Loser Gets VP”

  1. Loser gets VP

    I can’t help but wonder if, regardless of who wins, if we’ll end up with a loser as VP anyway?

    No, but in truth, I think having a potential President and Vice-President who may have opposed one another in the race is a good thing. “You can’t be too nasty, because you might need to work with the other guy.” At the same time, though, the risk of a Vice-President having the President assassinated becomes much more real…
