I think Kerry will surprise everyone, with his choice of running mate. I am thinking of 4 possibilities.
One possibility may be Max Cleland. Cleland's advantages are that he served in Vietnam, and he is from the South. It will be portrayed as an all-hero ticket, with geographical balance. There is also the victimology issue. Democrats have had great success in portraying Cleland as having been smeared by the mean, ugly, nasty, cruel, hateful and sadistic Republicans, in his 2002 re-election effort. Nominating Cleland as his running mate, will help Kerry remind voters, especially soccer mums, how mean, ugly, nasty, cruel, hateful and sadistic the Republicans are.
The other possibility may be Sen. Robert Byrd, who would help Kerry carry West Virginia, which Democrats lost last time to President Bush.
Pat "Osama Mama" Murray of Washington State is another possibility, which may be done in the name of women's rights, and enable Kerry to match Mondale's gender equality move of 1984.
Kerry might also need an experienced and well-rounded candidate like Jerold Nadler of New York, who is, well....round.

Normally I would agree with you, but remember Kerry represents Internationalists not American interests, therefore I pick Biden. He visits with Chirac and other Euroweenies, I think he's been a liasion between Kerry and some of his foreign leaders.

Anything is possible. What about a baseball star. He may consider Daryl Stawberry, who can help him reach junkies.
Or Pete Rose. Millions of Americans gamble...and they vote, too.

He doesn't look black, but apparently he is black. That's how he is described in Time.
