Reply #14: I disagree

I think the country is ready. I think that because the country has only come to this place recently there are fewer women in leadership positions from which to choose. But I think it is an interesting idea that should be explored. It may cause more independent women to go with the Dem. In addition, it is certain to spark media attention as it has only been tried one other time in history.

My only reservation would be that the area that this idea would be the biggest liability is in the south(the red states in general). Which, obviously is exactly the region of the country that Kerry or Dean would look for a VP candidate to give them a strategic advantage. My personal opinion is that this is true whether or not the woman is from the south.
