Dean for VP??
(...) On Friday, Dean left open the possibility he would accept a vice presidential nomination on a Democratic presidential ticket, a move that is unusual for candidates seeking to appear presidential. His comments came during a campaign interview for the February 17 Wisconsin primary with a Milwaukee radio station on Friday. Asked by radio station WMCS whether he would accept the vice presidential slot, Dean replied, "I would, to the extent, do anything I could to get rid of President Bush. Iâll do whatever is best for the party. Obviously, Iâm running for president, but whateverâs best is what Iâll do. Anything."
"Really. Anything!! Iâll do anything!! ANYTHING!!! Pleeeeeeease let me be relevant in this election!!
"Weâve just got to change presidents," he said. "Iâm Weâre really hurting right now." On Saturday, he told NBCâs Today Show that he is still running for the presidential nomination but will do whatever is necessary to beat George Bush. Dean also said he would run with John Kerry, if Kerry becomes the nominee, but thinks that would be poor strategy. "Let me say that if John Kerry is the nominee Iâm going to support him," Dean said. "Second of all, if John Kerry were the nominee, Iâd advise him not to pick me because you donât need two people from New England on the ticket. I will do whatever I can to beat George Bush."
"So please pick me!!"
Deanâs comments separate him from fellow presidential hopefuls Sen. John Edwards and retired Gen. Wesley Clark, both of whom have said they would not run as vice president. (...)
But that may soon change.
