Kerry to pick running mate

[Peter Oberth]

reports are saying that John Kerry will announce a running-mate next week. The top runners are Sen. John Edwards and (eek) Gephardt. Personally, I hope it's Edwards. now that's not biased reporting is it!

but, the biggest thing about this is not that Kerry will be picking a running mate but that it is going to force Bush to announce either a new running mate early or that he is sticking with Cheney. If he doesn't announce anything in the next 2 weeks, I think that he is going to get killed by Kerry in the polls and, depending on how long he waits, that could severely cripple Bush's chances at re-election since the polls are so close right now (I think last polls showed them neck and neck - Kerry 51% and Bush 47%, I THINK, someone could confirm or deny that for me if they want).

anyway, just a little news.

I heard a rumor yesterday that he was going to Choose Hilary Clinton.. if that is true there goes the world

Hillary has said several times she is not going to run for anything this year-in part because she wants to complete her 'service' to NY. Also realistically, it is smarter to wait until 2008 to do anything. As far as Edwards/Gephardt for VP--Gephardt more qualified to be VP-but Edwards is more interesting. Hopefully whoever he chooses-ALL the DIRT has been revealed to Kerry because the Republicans will find some if any--that is how ugly this contest is going to be.

Ok Kerry Just Made It Official-now The Question Is---can Kerry/Edwards Win In November?

I think Edwards was a good choice for Kerry - He's exceptionally personable - and I don't see him telling anyone to "go f... yourself" anytime soon. ;)

Hoping we can get Bush out of office soon.
