59. The fact is that the prepared text was already out before Kerry said it
He also has support among many Vets because he's been a consistent ally of theirs.

It is also NOT true that Kerry was a flip flopper. If you read the part of this Yale 1966 (no typo - 1966, the year of Rubber Soul) on foreign policy you will find themes that matured and are in his most recent foreign policy speech.

You are listing only negatives - ignoring that he would kill whoever McCain picks as VP and that he has a wealth of experience.

Kerry will not be the VP candidate because he is running for the Senaet in MA - and he can't do both. He also is in a position where he is very likely to be a power in the Senate - where he can help Obama with his agenda. (If Kennedy were haelthier, I would say the best position for Kerry is SoS for Obama. As the Secretary of state also has a role in treaties like the global warming one - it would combine two areas that Kerry has credentials from the 1970s on. Who would be better as Obama's represntative actually working on teh Regional summit he advocated for since 2003.)
