Who do you THINK is going to be the running mate?

[MallRat]

I know we have lots of Edwards fans, Deaniacs, and Clarkies here, so it's pretty easy to tell who each of us wants to see as Kerry's VP.

But I'm asking a different question... it's prediction time, folks.

WHO DO YOU THINK WILL ACTUALLY BE NAMED AS KERRY'S RUNNING MATE?

1. jon stewart

one can hope. :P

[MallRat]

7. Hear, hear!

I still laugh when I think about his insistence that Ashcroft present Congress with a "writ of douchebaggery."

[mzmolly]

2. Call my crazy, but I think it will be Graham.

:shrug:

[SCDem]

3. Edwards.

I'm a Deaniac but I think that Edwards would just be a smart pick... I think he will be the one. But obviously I am not one for getting predictions right since I have never won the lottery!

4. donald duck

[Trajan]

5. Clark ....

Edwards is a sitting Senator in a right leaning state .... Though I adore him, he is too valuable to America where he is ...

[MallRat]

8. Edwards isn't running for re-election to the Senate.

He opted to forgo a Senate campaign to focus on the Presidential campaign. Fortunately, Erskine Bowles (D) is looking good so far in the NC Senate race to replace Edwards.

[Trajan]

10. Damn ... I thought he was going to run now, since he dropped out ....

[Bluzmann57]

6. Either Bob Kerrey(sp?)

or Bob Graham. Graham would certainly help out in Florida. He might even make sure they're honest this time around. In actuality, I don't really nthink that Bob Kerrey will be the running mate, just an idea I thought I'd throw out there.

9. Gephardt

I think he's got the inside track. All the blue states plus Missouri wins the election plus Gephardt has a long resume, could work with Congress, has labor creds, crossover appeal, and won't upstage Kerry.

[democratreformed]

12. Second vote for Gephardt

I really think that's who it'll be.

[Mr.Green93]

11. Rubin

[Killarney]

13. Either Edwards or someone none of us even thought of.

[HooptieWagon]

14. Ann Richards

Just thought I'd throw the name out.

[Auntie Bush]

15. I will be horrified if it isn't CLARK!

It's going to be Clark! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[MallRat]

16. My prediction: Bill Richardson

Incredible resume, both domestic and foreign policy experience, huge appeal among Hispanic voters, from a battleground state (and could even have coattails into Arizona as well)...

About the only criticism I've heard is that he likes the camera a little too much. Other than that, he sounds like the perfect running mate to me.

17. The recent polls in North Carolina (Kerry slightly behind Bush)

makes Edwards a more likely choice, imho.
