Momentum Growing for McCain

Is John McCain, a Republican senator from Arizona, a viable option as the running mate of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry? Washington Post columnist David Ignatius thinks so: "Many Democrats would be furious at the thought that a Kerry-McCain national unity' ticket might mean more pro-life judges; Republicans similarly would loathe any embrace of the party of Bill Clinton. But that's the point: This is an election in which both sides need to give up things that matter to them, for the sake of a country that matters more."
