Maybe because he wanted to remove the suspense in an attempt to get an immediate boost in the polls. I think Kerry should have picked a woman, though. It might have delivered him OH by energizing the female vote.

The Democratic Convention in 2004 was in July.  If he didn't pick one then, he wouldn't have had a running mate at the convention.



He could have picked right before the convention and announced it right at the convention, like Bush Sr. did in 1988.
