What about Kerry as Hillary's VP?

[Justice]

He has been a great SOS - perhaps he would stay on as SOS, but what about him as VP.

[HERVEPA]

1. You must be joking. Need a great campaigner. that's not Kerry

[Scootaloo]

2. Eeeehhhhhn no. If he's going to stay executive, he should stay SoS

I've genuinely liked his work as SoS. I did not like him much as a presidential candidate though ("Better than Bush" carried me to the voting booth, at least)

[grossproffit]

3. We need a VP that can then run for president.

[Chan790]

4. Foremost, we need a VP that makes progressive Democrats hate Clinton less...

enough-so to vote for her.

That's going to be a short list and not in any way one of candidates appealing to Clintonites.

[SheilaT]

5. He's 72. And yes, people live longer and so on

but jeez louise. Surely there is someone under 60 or so that would be good for VP.

[JI7]

6. it would be a step down for him

If he was going to stay on it should be as SOS.

[LiberalFighter]

7. Absolutely not!

[Dem2]

8. No

Just no.

[Warren DeMontague]

9. we don't need to keep rehashing the past.

We should think ahead, and forward.

Maybe beyond East Coast baby boomers, even.

[longship]

10. Nope!

She has to go on her own way here.

And no, it will not be a sitting senator (I hope). We need to take back the US Senate this year, although I absolutely dread Schumer as Majority Leader. I prefer Dick Durbin, or -- dare I suggest -- Elizabeth Warren (no hope there -- maybe she gets there next term).

Regardless, we are all going to get it together.

12. Love that song nt

[longship]

13. Thanks! Me, too.

[BlueStater]

11. Is it possible to get someone on either ticket that wasn't born in the 1940s?

Please? The youngest person born in the '40s is now 66 years old. Geez Louise.

[CobaltBlue]

14. Justice—Oh, Dear Lord, No!

[TSIAS]

15. No

I'd rather him run for Senate in MA again if Warren is the VP.

When Kerry took so much heat for his comments about getting stuck in stupid wars, Hillary was one of the first ones to throw him under the bus. He made a clumsy statement, but Clinton knew damn well what he meant. That in part killed his chances to run in 2008.

There must be bad blood. Back in 2004 Hillary and the like brought in Wesley Clark to run, thinking that Dean and Kerry weren't good enough.

16. I hope she sticks to the Obama formula and picks a VP with some personality

When running against Trump, the last thing we need is a "low-energy" candidate like Gore/Kerry. I'd like Warren or Sanders, personally.

[bigwillq]

17. No (nt)

[Cobalt Violet]

18. No!

[Demsrule86]

19. No after the swiftboating?

She does not need that shite.

[betsuni]

20. He looks so happy going about his SoS activities! He won't go back.

He also voted for the Iraq thing. Isn't that a huge no-no, or is that only Hillary? I think it's only Hillary.
