What was Gephard's draw in the primaries?
This explains Kerry's outreach (with palm up) in the "rural midwest" swooping downwards from Minnesota.

>>IMO, Kerry's best pick would be Lieberman.
Agree, but will he do the smart thing? I hope not.
To: Bonaventure

Gephart, will only help in the St Louis area. He couldn't even do anything in Iowa.

All this talk of exactly who Kerry is planning to choose as his VP may be moot. There are some that feel that the Lautenberg /Torricelli scheme was simply a dry run for a bigger sham to be executed on the American people.
Just picture this:
The Dems are all gathered in Boston and instead of a Kerry media love fest the headlines read "Kerry Scandal Looms. Why? Because a few days before, an immense story breaks about the Senator that has the likelihood of ending not only his chances of winning in Nov. but his career as well. The only thing that Kerry can do is to gracefully step down after a tear jerking speech. Now with the candidate the American people had picked disgraced and off licking his wounds, who better to fight The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy? Why, none other that NY Senator Hillary Clinton.
I believe that it was Winston Churchill that said something like, You have to be very smart to believe something that crazy.
(Paraphrased from memory)

My instincts tell me it won't be Edwards because Edwards has no military record. Gephardt served in the National Guard for like 6 years. Kerry is going for (I think) the Democratic veterans as president message.

If I had to guess, I'd say Vilsack. I agree. Gephart has been around the block too many times. He doesn't deliver. He has presided over losing too many house elections. Vilsack-full is a governor, has no huge scandals following him around and could deliver the midwest more effectively than the Geph. I hereby declare Vilsack-full my choice for Dem VP nomination winner. What do we get if we're right, BTW? Is there a prize?

Albright is a supporter of Kerry and has her office now in the same office building in Washington as the Kerry campaign. Oh dear God, do we have her to look forward to as well?

and John Edwards, like many great Americans, was at Disney World with his family. I thought Edwards was suppose to be in North Carolina for some walk on the beach thingy??

That line ("Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"?) fits Kerry to a tee, Ivan!

"Picking Gephardt" the Kerry campaign has been quite easy to do...

Does Gephardt deliver Missouri into Kerry's column? If he does, that's no small qualification. Missouri has, what, 11 electoral votes? Not exactly chump change.
To: unspun
This explains Kerry's outreach (with palm up) in the "rural Midwest" swooping downwards from Minnesota. Exactly. Hints and whispers to the local pols. "We'll be back here a lot -- so upgrade your facilities for WiFi, find us the best long-term lodging, give us your union lists (oops!),etc."
This means Florida is off the table, which gives Rove the primo opportunity to direct all his forces to the Midwest swing states while also building backfires in Oregon, W. Va., Penn., etc.
Picking Gephardt is an admission of defeat by Kerry. It paints him into a must-win MO/OH corner. Call it the "Mooooh" Strategy - as they are both duller than cows standing in the field.
To: Mo1
I thought Edwards was suppose to be in North Carolina for some walk on the beach thingy??
The walk is today, the 4th and the article is talking about last Thrusday night July 1, so I'd guess he could have been in FL and back in NC for todays stroll......

"This subterfuge is silly. It will be Edwards."No way. Kerry would never pick anyone who would upstage him.

It will not be Edwards. There is some bad stuff in his file that is not publicly known.
To: Mo1
I don't think Madeleine Albright was born in this country. If so, she would not eligible. However, both Howard Dean and Ralph Nader would qualify.
