I said it before..
Kerry will pick a Veep who makes up for his deficiencies, and who can bring in "vital demographics", without showing him up.
Hellary might sweep him into office, but jfk knows that winning the battle is no good if you lose the war-and there is no way he could ever trust Hellary.
Kerry is positioning himself as "the candidate of the people", which is insane, because his background and lifestyle is as rich, snooty, and WASPish as Dubya's. So Kerry needs a Veep "of the people". Dean won't do it-he'll bide his time. Edwards is solid, but he won't inspire. Sharpton?
What the L are you smoking? Clark is a solid choice, too, but he doesn't inspire.
No-of all the Dems who put themselves out there, there is only one inspired choice:
Carole Mosley Braun.
Yeah, her campaign never went anywhere, and I doubt she expected it to. But I think she was angling for Veep or a Cabinet position. And if you're a liberal, you cannot help but believe that it is time to have a Black and/or Female VP. She brings in a lot of demographics.
The question is, will Kerry announce her too late? I'm sure he'll announce at the Convention, but I predict that before that, the White House will pre-empt Kerry, by announcing the stepdown of Cheney as VP, and the stepup of C. Rice!
And some people think politics is boring...
