Who should be Kerry's VP?
For me:
First choice: Wesley Clark
Second Choice: John Edwards

4. Howard Dean 1st choice. Edwards second because polls show he
is the favorite, and this is about winning for me. ;)

5. Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) or Bob Graham (D-FL)
We need Florida. 'nuff said.

16. 40% of FL primary voters want Edwards to be VP (he only got 10% of vote)
And that was much more than Nelson, Graham, Clinton, or anyone else.

17. I'm not sure Kerry is going to pick a former primary rival though...
But if what you're saying is right, then maybe Edwards would be better...

19. Read somewhere that former primary rivals tend not to get picked because
they're losers. You need to pick someone who's on the upswing, not the downswing.

Edwards may not have won the primary, but he's clearly the only one who didn't win who was on the upswing. His problem was that not enough people knew him, but when they found out about him, they liked him.

So, in my opinion, the reason primary losers don't get picked doesn't apply to Edwards. Furthermore, it seems that that rule works in Edwards's favor: pick the guy who has got the mo, and who's pulling all the live. In November, we'll be saying, "Didn't know him in March. Bet you know him now."

8. Wes Clark
is my only choice. Of course, I'll support the ticket not matter what it is, but Clark is the only one that would get me really energized.

14. I wouldn't care if he knocked on the door of a buddhist temple and chose
a monk as his running mate. As long as cheney is not our vice president, i don't care.

However, i prefer Clark :)

20. Wes Clark -- Kerry's BEST choice possible
They have, together, the intelligence, integrity, and fighting spirit that it will require to pull this country back together.

I'm ALSO pulling REALLY HARD for Kerry to appoint Eliot Spitzer as Attorney General. THERE'S THE GUY who would clean up the BFEE and all the messes they've caused.
