Hanoi John would get a serious electoral zot if he ran again.

Apparently, netroots are excited about the lastest buzz of John Kerry as Obama’s VP, I compiled some quotes from dailykos for entertainment purpose.
Kerry got the 2nd most votes for Prez EVER, 59 million votes., More than Gore, Clinton, even Reagan ever got, I think we ought to consider this That means nothing. The population is growing. He lost to the worst President in the history of the world. That's enough to DQ him for life, plus 20 years. The population didn't grow by 20% in 4 years .
That is the increase between votes for Gore in 2000 and votes for Kerry in 2004.
I'm still rooting for Chris Dodd, Anybody else I have thought of so far has too many negatives. But maybe somebody else can come up with something....Kerry, no way ! I always thought Kerry would be good .He's been an excellent surrogate on the talk shows.
we don't need another perceived "elitist" , on the same ticket with Barack Obama.
caving in to right winger fear are we?
By nominating Kerry, he would show no fear. He'd be saying, "Take your 'elitist,' swift-boat bullshit and shove it." What, are the Republicans going to run the 2004 campaign over again? That would be so.... 2004. People would tune them out.
Not as bad as you think .The obvious first reaction is Gawd no! But I'm surprised to find myself pondering it rather favorably.Yeah, his own campaign sucked donkey balls - but what does that have to do with the Obama campaign? Nothing.Kerry's been an effective surrogate, stronger, more passionate and more willing to go on offense than anyone else. His foreign policy credibility is solid, and his Senate seat would fall safely into Democratic hands.
Wouldn't it be sweet revenge for what happened in 2004? If we can't have vengeance for Gore, I'd take just desserts for Kerry.
You make a intriging argument. Ever since Kerry lost, he's always had the "lovable loser" appeal to me. It would be a unique satisfaction to see him in the White House.
I actually think... it's a great idea...he's a fantastic surrogate, and that's basically what the VP is for. I'm all for it!
Is American ready for an African American 1st Lady and an African 2nd Lady? Teresa is from Mozambique. By the way, I think they're both terrifiic.
Guarantee That We Get No Less Than 48% . There is that.
If Obama needs Kerry to win Mass, we are truly fucked.
Losers pick losers.
Can these idiots hear themselves when they talk?
Hanoi John would get a serious electoral zot if he ran again.
Kerry is not tough. He is a traitor, coward and a mendacious scoundrel to boot. The Swiftboat Vets were telling the truth and Kerry was not. If he is on the ticket, look for the Swifties and POWs for Truth come out of retirement for a rematch.
Dairy Queen? Lurch has to spend his life plus 20 years at Dairy Queen? His wife Tereeeeeeeza doesn't even know what chili is.
Yes, indeedy, because that's what he did in 2004. Still waiting for the release of his records.
Halp us Jon Cary - we r stuk in 2004. If Kerry's on the ticket, I've got a big, fat check with the SwiftBoat Vets' name on it.
LOL
Gosh. I hope they can work John Edwards into the campaign.
Don't you know that it's racist to make disparaging remarks about a person like Ms. Heinz-Kerry who happens to be African-American? I mean, if you're saying she doesn't know what chili is, then you're saying she's an elitist, which, as we have learned recently, is just a code word for "uppity," which is an offensive racist slur against an African-American.
That kind of talk will earn you a spot at the re-education camp when the Obama revolution comes.
Is it still racist if it’s true? Just asking; I guess I’m still learning how much of a bitter clinger and “typical white person” I am.
yeah,If only this could be true,,kerry could be a mega-loser
Must be a tough choice given the long list of Democrat "lovable losers"!
Speaking of running mates, anyone know the story on this picture of Obama’s jet at fivethirtyeight.com? They post the picture, then say absolutely nothing about it in the article that follows.

LOL... the last line is the best — maybe Obambi does have to worry about carrying Massachusetts!! :^)
One thing is obvious — if we could somehow bring in “The Gipper” to run this year, Ronald Reagan would mop the floor with Obambi and Jon Carry or anyone else the Demagogues chose to run. Despite the supposed “national mood” the Demagogues are enormously vulnerable for nominating the most inexperienced AND far-left candidate ever, and the Treasoncrats tried & failed to make us lose a war. They should get crushed in November. There is no color of skin that could make Obambi competitive if we had a much better R. candidate ala 1980 or 1984. But, alas, we don’t, so we just have to muddle through.
Perhaps this was in the works for a while(?)
Back in January, Kerry made some comment/slip about he and Obama “Breaking the mold together”

Well that would just about guarnatee a landslide win for McCain, IMHO. Middle America disliked Kerry a lot so rebundle him with someone else they don’t like and get two for the price of one. I ask again, is their a brain anywhere among them?
The Return of Jean-Fraud Kerry Alert!
“Back in January, Kerry made some comment/slip about he and Obama “Breaking the mold together””
Kerry thinks everything is about him, so that’s not saying a whole lot... Then again, Obama is the only politician I know of who thinks everything is about him even more than Kerry does. So there is a real kinship between them, in that regard, for sure.
