The Bi-Partisan Presidency

Something I will give John Kerry credit for: He was open to the option of having a Republican VP. This isn't a new idea, as originally the winner of the Presidential run would become President and the looser would become the VP. Look here for some interesting historical facts about this.

Why isn't the government putting the best people for the job in place? Sure I know the party system has worked now for say the last 180+ years or so, but who cares? Can't we tell our government officials we want a change?

I gotta admit, I would have liked to see McCain be the (R) VP and Kerry the (D) President. It would have shown the rest of the country that forward thinking and putting politics aside is what's needed, and not decision making down party lines.
