Let's not debate here whether John Kerry would pick him or not.  Let's also not debate here whether it would be legal or not per the Constitution.

Assume Kerry wants him as a running mate, and that there would be no constitutional crisis.

Question: Would John Kerry/Bill Clinton defeat George W. Bush/Dick Cheney?  Debate it.

he would be a huge help.
a lot of people fondly recall the days of budget surpluses and relative peace.
some of the crimes perpetrated by the current regime make bills hummer look quaint by comparison.

I'm not really sure if he'd do more harm or good to Kerry's campain. All I know is that Bush should drop Cheney and pick McCain or Lieberman for VP.

Bush would pound away at Clintons dozens of scandals. He has had the most scandal ridden administration since Harry S Truman. Clinton would hurt Kerry more then help him. States like Arkansas and Louisiana would not vote for a stuck up nose from the east like John kerry, even with Clinton.

Kodratos- since when did the LibDems become fiscally conservative?

I just like them better than Labour or the Tories

How about the true Liberals? They have a few councillors (no MPs/MEPs etc) but don't see a link between liberalism and social democracy.

I don't want to go for a really small party. I have been thinking about supporting the Tories this time around. I just don't like Michael Howard all that much. Smith was ok.

Paddy Ashdown looked and sounded like a PM. Charles Kennedy does not.

I like Charles Kennedy better than Paddy Pantsdown. And I wouldn't say that the Liberal Democrats are fiscally liberal. They are kind of all over the board when it comes to economics. They want to de-centralize government.
