Please Mr. Kerry, pick a running mate!
for god's sake, John. this ain't rocket science, it's politics. if you pick edwards, clark, or gephardt you will almost surely win unless iraq makes an amazingly quick turnaround. not likely, not with bunny boy bush in the driver seat.

so please, just give us your pick already so we can get behind whoever it is you pick. maybe we can achieve some rare democrat unity heading into the convention.

whaddya say Mr. Kerry?












c'mon, i've got money on this!

1. Kerry will likely announce his VP pick the week of July 12, no sooner.

3. I think this VP debate is the best thing for Kerry
It keeps his name in the news.
Seriously, it's about the only thing our lame crap-for-brains media cares about in the Kerry campaign right now.
That and, thankfully, Michael Moore's movie.

4. if Kerry picks now it will be earlier than people usually pick vps
vps are usually picked about a week or 2 before the convention. many people on here think kerry is taking too long but he isn't taking any longer than any candidates before him. and anyways, the vp announcement isn't just about announceing the vp. it is one of the few times we will get media attention which should mostly be positive at first. and he has to be smart to be able to get as much out of it as he can.

7. I'm pretty sure he's made up his mind already
But they wanna release it so it hits the news cycle at the best time.
