Edwards. Not likely.
Kerry isn't secure enough to chose someone better looking and more facile than he is. Edwards would be a media darling and make him look like a clown
Besides, Edwards won't be interested in second place on a losing ticket. I think he is planning on watching Kerry lose and then spending the next 4 years on the rubber chicken circuit raising money for other Dems and building a grass roots operation. Then in '08 he will try to beat Hitlery for the nomination.

(depends on the interpretation of the VP clause) No it doesn't. The requirements for VP are the same as for President.

Hey..we have Vilsacks bags packed and toasted to his leaving Iowa!!

That's why I think he might pick Harold Ford Jr. Harold Ford won't be 35 by January 20, 2005.

Fat Teddy. It's his only chance. If elected, he would have the second gunman from the grassy knol make him the next president of the USA; or as another choice, Algore. He has experience in the job. But, deep down I am afraid that McManiac might take the nod.

Heeheheheheeehee! Yes, you've nailed it! Teresa Heinz Kerry, the first African-American women VP candidate. She'll pull in the all the votes of the underrepresented hyper-rich. The second wife vote. The Arts & Croissant crowd, SOHO artistes and all Snob-Americans. A sure winner.

But, deep down I am afraid that McManiac might take the nod. The whole McCain flirtation is a Karl Rove operation.
1. McCain was paid off by having his pet issue (steroid abuse) put in the State of the Union speech.
No other way to explain its inclusion.
2. McCain is chairman of the Bush Camaign in Arizona.
If he were seriously considereing crossing over, he would have been bounced out of there before he could do any more harm.
3. No way his ego would fit into a VP slot.
4. He has far more power as a senior Senator than he would ever have as a VP.
a. The republican senate leaders would strip him of all comittee assignments if he accepted.
b. He knows Kerry is a loser.
c. He knows he is too old to succeed Kerry in '12.
5. No way Kerry would ever pick anyone that much more popular with the press than he is.
.
After McCain spends a few months flirting with Kerry, the press and public are gonna be unhappy with whoever Kerry picks. They just won't measure up to old John.
That's the plan, to make the Kerry/? ticket start out being compared to the hypothetical Kerry/McCain ticket and looking sick.

.... Teresa Heinz Kerry....
Heh, heh. It would be amusing, but I can think of two things that disqualify her as a candidate. I don't think she's a natural born citizen and she and the Botox Kid are both from Massachusetts.

Richardson is a well liked Governor without a lot of baggage Setting aside his road trip with Lewinsky, Richardson was also in charge of the national labs when the Los Alamos "missing hard drives" caper was discovered. About a month prior to that, when national lab security (and Wen Ho Lee) became an issue, Richardson very publicly declared that he was on top of things and that there would not be any more lab incidents on his watch. Then the missing hard drives (that are supposed to be locked in a secure vault) turn up hidden behind a photo copier. This was all happening against the backdrop of the Los Alamos Forest fire.

Kerry's a Catholic (sort of). Unlikely that the Veep would be Catholic. Richardson's a Catholic (sort of) as is Pelosi, Kennedy, Gephardt (sort of, sort of, sort of).

"That's why I think he might pick Harold Ford Jr."
Race aside, I don't see Mr. Ford as having sufficient maturity, to carry a "presidential" image.
He's smart, articulate and his day may come. Later.
He's a centrist, I've read.

Race aside, I don't see Mr. Ford as having sufficient maturity, to carry a "presidential" image. Yes but he's a Democrat. The media will give him a free ride so all of that sort of stuff will not matter. They will be so busy blathering on about his being black, they won't have time for anything else. And there is no way the Republicans will risk criticizing him. The only problem I see is that he doesn't look black.
Clearly he's ambitious, because he ran against Pelosi.

It is one I worry about. It would get him LA and make Bush have to fight for Ark, and Tenn. I think the other states in the area are solid for Bush no matter the Dem VP nominee.
