By every account John Kerry has a short list of VP prospects who are being vetting by his campaign. They include John Edwards, Dick Gephardt, Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack and a handful of other Democrats. Neither Hillary Clinton nor John McCain is on the list.
But despite that – and the fact that Clinton would magnify Kerry's image as a northeastern liberal, while McCain would drive the Democratic base nuts with his free trade, pro-life policies – the chatterers in and out of the media can't quite come to terms with that reality. Kerry himself told reporters that, even though pollsters keep putting her name on lists of Veep candidates, Sen. Clinton had told him to count her out. McCain, after one little slip on morning television a few months ago, has said over and over that he is not interested, that he's supporting George W. Bush and running for reelection to the Senate as a Republican from Arizona
