(2004-05-28) — In a hypothetical match-up, Americans would choose the Democrat/Republican White House ticket of Senators John Forbes Kerry and John McCain, R-AZ, by 14 points over the incumbent Republican slate of George Bush and Dick Cheney.
However, voters would re-elect Mr. Bush by a wide margin if he were paired with Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.
“The buzz these days at Republican gatherings is all about Hillary,” said one unnamed party strategist. “Once Kerry suggested he liked McCain, we immediately saw the wisdom of a ticket that really opens the flaps of the so-called ‘big tent’.”
According to the anonymous source, the highlight of the Kerry/McCain vs. Bush/Clinton race will be the debates.
“The finale will feature each presidential nominee debating his own running mate,” he said. “Kerry and McCain will give each other backrubs while Bush and Clinton tear each other apart, virtually ensuring a Bush/Clinton win as the ticket that best represents the spirit of America.”

Oh, really?
A hypothetical Kerry-McCain ticket would beat Bush by 14 points, according to polls. But Scott Ott can do better….
