Nope, by the time the Rat nomination is decided, the two of them will be at each other’s throats.
Confirmed. The only way he'll be a contender for VP is if he gets blown out of the water in the early states, and I can't seee a scenario that makes him a train wreck in the early primaries but leaves him strong enough to be a viable running mate.
Part of me thinks it's Bayh or Warner for sure, but another part thinks it's Richardson because he'll be easily controlled and easily pushed aside for the real VP, Bubba.
