Dennis Kucinich wants to hook up with Ron Paul

Dennis Kucinich (l) and Ron Paul (r) do the walk of shame in advance

Ohio congressman and Democratic presidential longshot Dennis Kucinich told supporters over the weekend that he's thinking about wild-card GOP hopeful Ron Paul as a running mate, because their administration could bring people together "to balance the energies in this country." Paul, the libertarian doctor-congressman from Texas, holds diametrically opposed views from Kucinich's on abortion, health care, and taxes, so, according to a Paul spokesman, a joint ticket "would never work," but the two candidates do agree on ending the war in Iraq and protecting civil liberties.

Even if it's just a fantasy, the Democratic-Republican joint ticket idea is delicious. Sure, the parties disagree on almost everything, but where could they come together?
