The main factors appear to suggest that he shouldn't pick anyone who might tend to overshadow him and it should be someone who would tend to make him appear more moderate but also someone he would feel comfortable with politically.
Right away we have to dismiss the two most glaringly obvious candidates, Kim Il Sung jr and Mullah Omar since, I believe, they're not US citizens.
Michael Moore has been mentioned since he would mirror Kerry's views on Iraq and help tremendously with the leftist fat slob voter but reportedly he has turned down the offer and will only accept if he is named as chairman of Kerry's proposed Al-Quida Peace Commission.
Ted Kennedy is the sentimental favorite of the Congression Black Caucus, Teresa(57)Heinz Kerry and, strangely, Vice President Cheney, but others in the Kerry campaign feel it wouldn't be fair to the popular Kennedy to ask him to dry out for the ramainder of the campaign.
Senator Byrd has been mentioned as a compromise canditate but party workers worry that his senility, rumored bed-wetting and constant dribbling might turn off younger voters.
Some Kerry advisors have mentioned Kofi Annan as the perfect candidate since as Vice President he would cinch the black Muslim and Egyptian vote in this country and best of all would appeal to President Chirac of France.
VP should be Sharpton. That choice would lend the necessary gravitas to the Dem. ticket.
I got thrown out of a rally held for him back in the 80s and I'd love to repeat the experience, and
I crack right up every time I say or hear his name.
You don't need a VP if you're not the President, so why should he bother to pick one. It seems like a big waste of money to me. He could probably pick a cartoon character and the dimwits wouldn't even notice.
with all choices being executed every day he,s left with micheal moore hillary his wife who wishes she had her
former husband by the way can anyone find kerry the news
