How about Robert Rubin for VP?
I've always been intrigued by this idea. (I know he supports free trade.) He can claim credit for much of the economic boom under Clinton. He can raise lots of money. He's well spoken and attractive. He highlights the economic issues and the failures of this maladministration.

2. YOU WANT THE CORPORATIONS RULING THE WHOLE WORLD?
(As if they wouldn't, under Kerry?)

3. Rubin's a great guy
and perhaps the best Secretary of the Treasury we've ever had. But he's not a politician, and I really don't see what he'd bring to the ticket.

4. No way.
He looks like Kerry, imo.
