Fantasy League Politics

E.J. Dionne Jr. in yesterday's Post:

McCain-Bush in 2008? That would be John and Jeb, the most logical Republican ticket if the party remains in the polling doldrums.

If there's a political equivalent of fantasy football among the chattering class, it's the imaginary matchmaking that constantly occurs with John McCain and politicians of every conceivable variety. Previously mentioned ticket-mates include John Kerry and Joe Lieberman.

Some enterprising producer could put together a reality TV show where contestants compete to become the Arizona senator's pick for veep in '08. Think "The Bachelor" but with less dignity. Who will it be this week? Joe Biden? Schwarzenegger? How about Gary Coleman, Dakota Fanning, or "The Game"? Because you just never know with that McCain. He's always coming at you from some crazy new angle.
