John McCain to join his ticket that Kerry offered to make him VP and Secretary of Defense.

Populist, anti-war, screaming Lefty Howard Dean, M.D. would have imploded whether or not he uttered the "Dean Scream." Dean, M.D. and his campaign manager Joe Trippi were at odds already in October. Even then Trippi didn't think Dean, M.D. was ready for prime time.
