This gives me an idea. Kerry should select Mr. Ed as the VP candidate. With four hooves squarely on the ground he would counter the flip-flopping problem. Kerry could ride him to victory. It would help with security because there would be a ready-made Kerry double right in the White House. He would as charisma to the ticket.
Nah...I don't think Kerry would want to have to compete with a VP who might (and it's questionable) produce more BS than he does.
