Kerry picks Gephardt
New York Post ^ | 6/6/2004 | NY Post

Posted on 07/06/2004 12:03:01 AM PDT by thoughtomator

July 6, 2004 -- EXCLUSIVE

John Kerry has chosen Rep. Richard Gephardt, the veteran congressman from Missouri, to be his running mate, The Post has learned.

Gephardt, 63, a 28-year veteran of the House of Representatives, could be named by the presumptive Democratic nominee as the party's vice-presidential candidate as soon as today.

The Massachusetts senator was set to announce the winner of the veep-stakes at a rally this morning in Pittsburgh, according to several reports last night.

With the July 26 Democratic convention in Boston looming, Kerry is looking for some advantage in the polls, and is hoping his choice of running mate will be the answer.

If the Post says it's Gephardt, it will be someone else, probably Edwards

Good call! LOL. Keep in mind though, the NY Post has one of the best Editorial and Op-Ed sections in the nation.

This IS John Kerry we're talking about, after all.

See.

It's as I said earlier.

To whit:

<< << Kerry picks Edwards >>

One thing and one only will dictate default "DemocRAT: Kerry's 'pick:'

First Rate folks hire only First Rate folks.

And second raters, only fifth raters.

And that makes it a lay down misère Mr Trial Liar Edwards is gunna pick Kerry to be his running mate. >>

Blessings -- Brian

<< CNN analyst just said: Kerry can take .... Edwards can take the complex and make Millions of Dollars from it. >>

Of course he can. 'Bullsh*t baffles brains.'

[The trial liars mantra]

But neither of them can make it to work.

At their United-States-Taxpayer bought and paid for positions in the United States Senate.

PREDICTION:

United States of America's President and Armed-Forces Commander-In-Chief, George Walker Bush, 44 States: the default "DemocRAT" and his trial liar matey, 6.

RICE/KEYES2008!

Hi Brian, are you the same guy who debated Nelsen Hearle (the JW) at Biola?

BTW, Brian, I would definitely support Alan Keyes, but there are still too many unanswered questions about where Condi Rice stands on many things in my mind (abortion, racial preferences, etc.) as of yet. But she would be better than anything the Rats have to offer.

You nailed it! The Kerry campaign is probably having a good laugh over making Murdoch's paper look stupid.

The Daily News, the Post's main competition, is certainly having a good laugh over the Post's flub as well:
