WASHINGTON - Howard Dean returned to the campaign trail Thursday, but this time he raised his voice above a noisy crowd to endorse Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, his former rival, for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Speaking to college students at George Washington University, Dean, the former governor of Vermont whose dark-horse anti-war campaign energized voters in the Democrats’ base, said Kerry would better protect jobs, the environment and the nation than President Bush.

“Who would you rather have in charge of the defense of the United States of America,” Dean asked the young crowd, “a group of people who never served a day overseas in their life or a guy who served his country honorably and has three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star from the battlefields of Vietnam?”

So what do we do if McCain brings in Kerry for his VP?

Watch Hillary take the office.

my first thought is OMG!!!!!

Second thought...........he'll (Kerry) will never actually go for it......he may crow about it but he will never actually do it.

He knows the SBVT are still out there and his lies will finish him off this time.

We sometimes engage in hyperbole. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being certitude, what are the odds that Kerry will be his VP? Please give a real answer. Mine is an absolute zero.

I would have given McCain as the Republican nominee a zero last year.

While I would say a Kerry as VP rates 1 or 2, I find that options from DC depend on who is sleeping with whom.

Okay, we can respectfully disagree. 1 or 2? That means up to a 20% chance? I want that bet.

I don’t see us with any disagreement. I actually boils down to were mccain sees he can get votes and win. Go right - are there enough conservatives or go left, take from the DNC and Obama or Hillary camp - there will be a lot of bad blood.

As an example; Arnold knows there are not more votes from the right here at the state level so, he must go left and he has

But couldn’t all the conservatives pointing out the folly of running a campaign based on service 30-40 years ago be used against McCain?
