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.

Well done!
Good call! LOL. Keep in mind though, the NY Post has one of the best Editorial and Op-Ed sections in the nation.
Hey!
He may still pick Gephardt!
This IS John Kerry we're talking about, after all.
Dan
bump !Kerry-Edwards is the 'RAT ticket. The two John's !
Kerry announced it this morning at appx. 8:06 Central Time.
And how better to try to discredit them than leaking an inaccurate report?
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. >>

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!
Wow. Good call.
LOL somebody pulled one over on them. Maybe their favorite columnist Dick Morris convinced them!
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.
Thanks for the ping!
You nailed it! The Kerry campaign is probably having a good laugh over making Murdoch's paper look stupid.
I think that was the idea.
The Daily News, the Post's main competition, is certainly having a good laugh over the Post's flub as well:

Thought it was John Edwards.
It was a twofer; the Dems got a chance to make a fool out of the NY Post!
Edwards is not impressive.
