March 4, 2004 -- Democratic nominee-to-be John Kerry yesterday put Walter Mondale's 1984 campaign manager in charge of picking his running mate and said nice things about vanquished rival John Edwards.

Edwards quit the race after Kerry's Super Tuesday wins and vowed to do "everything in my power" to help Kerry. Party strategists weighed whether a two-senator ticket was the best way to go - with 1984 Mondale campaign chief Jim Johnson put in charge.

This guy will probably pick graham. It takes a zombie to know a zombie.

I remember how the "popular" Walter F. Mondale "summoned" v.p. possibilities to his MN home in 1984 to "interview" them in public for the most part. He had the "popular" Texan Henry Cisneros come up but did not pick him. Oh, yea, it was Tip O'Neill who actually picked the v.p. choice: Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro Zaccaro, and the ticket did not even carry her Queens district.
