Bob Graham doesn't help Kerry in Florida according to today's poll

[ringmastery]

It looks like the state is so polarized, only 5% undecided that VP won't make much of a difference. Republicans will not vote for the ticket because Graham is on it. He lost years of goodwill from moderate republicans when he attacked Bush in his presidential campaign. Democrats are ABB, so they are voting for Kerry regardless if Graham is on the ticket or not.

While some strategists argue that Kerry's chances of winning Florida's 27 electoral votes would be helped if he names the state's retiring senior senator, Bob Graham, as his running mate, the poll suggests that Graham offers no particular benefit.

A Kerry-Graham ticket leads Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney 49 to 44 percent, the same margin as a Kerry-Edwards team. A ticket that includes Florida's junior senator, Bill Nelson, leads Bush-Cheney by only 2 percentage points.

2. Sorta what I suspected all along.

It's either ours, or it isn't, and Graham/Nelson doesn't change that.

3. No. Graham does help, but he helps as much as Edwards does. (n/t)

4. Hey I got an idea...

How about Kerry/Leiberman?

(and, yes, I'm only kidding)
