If Breaux joins Kerry, LA becomes a Kerry state. If Nunn goes on the ticket, would GA then become a Kerry state? And would that end Isakson's chances for the Senate?
Don't bank on that...Gore couldn't win his own state and had he, he would be President right now. The number one guy on the ticket is the most important, these things are all distractions...I think another reason why Kerry wanted to delay accepting the nomination is because it will be a point in time closer to the election and may indicate if he actually has a chance to beat W...this might open up better candidates for Kerry's VP...a good friend of mine who was a Cheif of Staff for an NJ Congressman (RAT) told me that most of the better VP candidates are staying away for now because they don't want to be associated with this sinking ship.
How would it end Isakson's chances? First, Tim Hutchinson won in 1996. Do you mean Isakson as opposed to Collins or Cain? Or what exactly? A Kerry-Nunn ticket wouldn't be strong enough to win the seat for Majette.
