We'll find out who he picks. Its going to be interesting.
Definitely.  There are a lot of interesting names flying around.  Personally I'd like to see Bill Richardson.  But I wouldn't be shocked to see Edwards, Cleeland, Bayh, or Warner.

Cleland would be a bad choice for the Dems.

If I remembr correctly he lost his senate seat, so he might not add a lot to the ticket.

Now I'm not kidding here but Dick Morris got me thinking.

Hillary Clinton.

Now she wants to be president sometime down the road, their is no doubt about that. If she runs as a VP on this ticket she will have a better chance in 2012 then if she just sat on the sidelines until 2012. Also, he also mentioned that the Clintons are still a thorn in the side of the Democrats and it would be wise for Kerry to pick her to get the full support of the Clintons.

Maybe so... the VP choice is way far off yet. If Kerry keeps shooting himself in the foot he many not have to worry about a VP nominee.

Patrick Buchanan says Bush ads are "legitimate.  I've been waiting for them.  45% of Americans don't know who Kerry is.  It's time to take a look at his record."  Watch it now on Scarborough Country.

Lets see :

"These negative campaign ads are disturbing."

followed by

"They are all liars and crooks."


Then he says he's for going into Iraq, but voted against funding it. The list of flipflops goes on and on.

I was just wondering what would happen if something major happened to Kerry so that the Democrats couldnt nominate him. Something like death, or his wife getting murderedm or a huge scandal. I know this is a big hypothetical, just wondering though

Hello, Hillary.

Yep

I like the fact that he was on the inside of the Clinton Admin and knows about Democrats instead of being someone speaking out of the side of their mouth who are diehard Repubs.

Yes....upon the death or refusal to serve of the President-Elect....the Vice President-Elect would assume the office of President......

I see Kerry as the weakest of all the Democratic nominees, well outside of Braun, Kuchinich, Sharpton and that Florida Senetor whose name I can't remember. The best thing that could happen to the Democrats is for Kerry to die, murder or be scandalized. The man is not the best Presidential nominee.

If he had a VP, he'd support him, but since he doesn't he'd likely pledge his support to someone from the Democratic Primaries, Edwards, Clark or Dean. I doubt it would be some sort of third party, some unlikely outside canidate.

That's a sick relationship they're in. I mean think about it. She knows he has affairs and she does nothing. It's so obvious she's in it for the political gain. If you asked her if she loved him I'm sure she'd say "Whats love?". I feel sorry for Chelsea being raised in that sort of mess. I bet she has some issues.

Chelsea Clinton's tell all book, if she writes one, will be very interesting indeed, despite your political stripe.

Yes. So, if Bush dies right before the election, Cheney is the one running for president.
