I think it's Kerry.

[npincus]

now let it sink.

[kevinplayer]

1. Thanks

I enjoyed that laugh

[jobycom]

2. Would Kerry?

[globalvillage]

3. I think he'd be fantastic.

But I don't think you're right.

[Franks Wild Years]

6. For me, a big plus for Kerry would be...

...that I believe he'd attract a considerable number of independents who really regretted opting for Bush in 2004. Their conscience would literally be staring them in the face whenever they turned on the television.

Forget the "loser" shit. He lost, yes, but a large part of that was due to unjust smears by an morally bankrupt group (and an "author" whose credibility has now been blown smithereens) and a large portion of the electorate who made a mistake that many of them admitted in polls taken a year or two after the election.

7. The people who voted for Bush twice have no conscience

[Franks Wild Years]

8. I beg to differ.

Bush's *base* have no conscience - 30% of irreversible wackos. But there are a lot of independents / cowards / whatever you want to call them who admitted they were duped / scared / whatever into voting for the Boy King in '04. I think that has translated nicely into Bush's approval ratings. There's a good 5-10%, I'd say, of Bush voters who feel pretty dirty about that now.

9. The Pentagon and several leading Republicans

have finally admitted Sen. Kerry's approach to fighting terrorism was the right one. They can't back away from it. Kerry was right, Bush and McCain are wrong. Sen Kerry would beat them over the head with that repeatedly.
And I agree with you, there's a lot of buyers' remorse out there. I still don't think he's the VP pick, though.

[Lost-in-FL]

4. I hope not. nt

[Sequoia]

5. Same here. Please no!

He gave up too easily last time.

[KansasVoter]

WRONG

[DesertFlower]

10. we lost in 04 because

many people hated kerry.

[globalvillage]

14. No, we lost in '04

because Republicans scared the crap out of people. It was terrapalooza 24-7, and the media pushed it.
That's not where we are today.
Besides, many people hate Obama. He's still going to win.

[YvonneCa]

21. The fear card...

...plain and simple.

[PresidentObama]

15. Kerry didn't lose. And no, people hated Bush.

[DesertFlower]

18. i know people who couldn't stand kerry.

that swiftboating did a job. some people thought of him as a windsurfing, latte drinking elitist. i personally liked him.

[GarbagemanLB]

11. Why, exactly, should we have our VP candidate be the guy who LOST 4 years ago?

[globalvillage]

17. Because he learned things that the other short-listers still don't get

He learned how to fight the Republican smear machine. Look at how he's fighting for Obama and other Dems. Who else is doing that?

I don't think he'd be the VP pick,though. I'm guessing Biden.

[YvonneCa]

22. Because he didn't...

...lose.

[Unsane]

12. Don't see what he brings to the ticket, electorally.

[Erin Elizabeth]

13. ROFL!

[Nite Owl]

16. I love Kerry but

isn't he running for reelection for the Senate?

[AtomicKitten]

19. I can see it.

[book_worm]

20. I like Kerry, but he has a bigger rep as an elitist than Obama.

[ecstatic]

23. That would worry me but I like Kerry

Just like how I wouldn't be totally opposed to HRC... I just wonder what the VOTERS would do.

[Faygo Kid]

24. Could be.

I don't want to speculate anymore. He would be a good choice, I think, and a tenacious fighter for the ticket.

My gut says no, though.
