Those rumors couldn't be true, could they?
Bernstein's rumor is that Kerry gets the speech at the convention but not the VP, so yeah it could be true. The "rumor" - make that Wolfson's crazy rantings - that Kerry could be VP, um no.
Dumbest thing he could do
Pick someone who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag politically. The smears worked so well against Kerry in 04, when the election was his to lose, because he was too much of a wuss to fight back.
Barack's not dumb. He'll pick someone who actually helps his ticket. Someone without a bunch of negatives and successful smear campaigns already stacked up against him. Someone who can fight... becuase it's going to get ugly.
Clinton-Mondale '92
Wouldn't have worked then - won't work now.
I don't think that Kerry would pull in any constituency that Obama doesn't already own and Hillary Clinton doesn't have for that matter.
He sorely needs somebody that speaks high-school-educated working class baby-boomer. I think Jim Webb would be a strong choice for that.
RIght.... it would help
RIght.... it would help Obama convince those last three undecideds on Nantucket.
No
There is no way that any candidate could be so stupid as to commit suicide with Kerry's long gloomy face losing the election. Wimp of the universe is Kerry.
