	Could Kerry pick McCain? - By Brendan I. Koerner - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The odds are slim to none that McCain would be willing to invite such scorn from his political chums.
		As the DNC rules note, "Delegates may vote for the candidate of their choice whether or not the name of such candidate was placed in nomination." At the very least, a ruckus like that would leave a bitter taste in everyone's mouth, at precisely the worst moment possible.
		Prior to that, another mishmash occurred in 1796, when the Federalist John Adams won the presidential election and the Republican Thomas Jefferson was his vice president.
