Question: has Kerry ever said that he does not think HRC should be VP?

[beachmom]

I don't recall him ever saying that. He certainly hasn't been FOR that idea, but I never heard him say anything like what Kennedy or even Pelosi.

This Clinton supporter is all pissy, claiming he said it, but provides no proof.

It is on Sen. Kerry's diary.

[wisteria]

1. He has never said that to my knowledge, but he should.

Those calling for the so called unity ticket have no idea about the ruthlessness of the Clintons. It would be aweful. The Clinton's trying to undermine Obama whenever possible, Bill trying to steal the lime-light and then a President Obama having to watch his back and fend off the back stabbing.

5. You got that exactly right.

Clintons have never given any honest Democrat a reason to trust them.

2. not outright, but you can tell he wouldn't be for it, but he is usually kind towards her

for example if someone specifically mentions her as possible vp he isn't going to go along and say it would be great or anything like that. he usually starts responding in a way where he makes a case that Obama should be free to pick someone else.

but he is usually kind towards Hillary and says some positive things about her.

but no, he has never said anything like Kennedy or Pelosi and i can't see him saying that. in 2000 he thought he would be picked for vp as did many others and he seems pretty set on the vp thing being as private as possible.

3. He is a gentlemen. He would never say it outright.

But we know dogone well, when he is in at home with THK, " He is saying I don't want that viper as VP"

4. Sen. Kerry's office responded to this misconception

Kerry never asked Clinton to depart

I am writing in response to a letter to the editor that was in The Republican on May 13. Sen. John F. Kerry has never, ever suggested that Sen. Hillary Clinton drop out of the presidential race. In fact, he has repeatedly said the exact opposite. Just last week (on May 7), for example, he reiterated his point to the Associated Press.

He has gone out of his way to say that she should not drop out of the race and that it is completely her decision.

6. That's a good point. He has never asked that she drop out NOR

has he said she shouldn't be considered for VP. He is indeed a gentleman.
