Can the Eventual Dem Ticket be two Northeasternrs?
If Kerry and Dean go on from here and continue to lead strongly with them finishing either way as 1 and 2. Can pair of Northeastern Dems
get elected. Usually there is some geo-political element to the VP selection. But Clinton/Gore was two southern states.

what's your thoughts?

2. I'm from Alabama....
and I have supported many northerners before. I favored Tsongas over Clinton in 92 and Bradley over Gore. So from my perspective it would be fine with me if Kerry/Dean or Dean/Kerry was the ticket.
Infact I think that Joe Lieberman hurt no helped Gore in 20003

3. Kerry and Dean won't team up
I'd be disappointed if they did

Two northeasterners=4 more years of the shrub.

5. Karl Rove called me and said "Kerry-Dean" is just fine with him.
Then he gave me the names and covers of several more CIA agents who's family members have irked him off. But don't worry, "Doctor Huxtable", your secret's safe with me.

6. While it could work,
if we want to cover the bases, it is not the smart move.

Lets let the process take the course, and unite afterwards. And for what it is worth, Joe Liberman and Al Gore were not candidates in the pres. primary.

Don't count on Edwards or Clark or even Graham. It may not happen, despite my back up plans :)

7. It;'s not good strategy
A list of possible running mates for either Kerry or Dean from the South would include Edwards, Clark, Graham and Max Cleland.
