Rumors abound that sKerry will announce his Veep pick this weekend. (Trying to upstage the Toon is a dangerous thing.)
I'll go out on a limb and predict Harold Ford, D-Tenn. MediaCrats love him. He's the most well-spoken, reasonable African-American in Dem politics in a long time. It would be a huge surprise. And he might deliver Tennessee. Kerry will relish the media's gasping...Bush may get Florida, but how audacious it would be for Kerry to get Algore's home state back in the fold!
Best of all, since he's black, the media can NEVER ask him hostile questions or level any criticism against him.
Just a thought.
A radio report yesterday said that the unions are insisting Kerry pick Gephardt. Apparently the unions love Geppy and vow the only way they can convince their members to back Kerry (because they're not too excited about PePe), is to put Geppy on the ticket.
Do you think Harold Ford would accept?
