Dean for VP??
2004-02-08
(...) 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. I’ll do whatever is best for the party. Obviously, I’m running for president, but whatever’s best is what I’ll do. Anything."
"Really. Anything!! I’ll do anything!! ANYTHING!!! Pleeeeeeease let me be relevant in this election!!
"We’ve just got to change presidents," he said. "I’m We’re really hurting right now." On Saturday, he told NBC’s 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 I’m going to support him," Dean said. "Second of all, if John Kerry were the nominee, I’d advise him not to pick me because you don’t need two people from New England on the ticket. I will do whatever I can to beat George Bush."
"So please pick me!!"
Dean’s 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.

#11  Unlikely anyone in the dominant left-wing media who will incessantly extol the virtues of Comrade Kerry the war hero will also give mention to Kerry's role as the radical left's anti-war, anti-American, pro-communist posterboy. Comrade Kerry's shameful exploits will make no more of a splash than Comrade Clinton's meeting with every Communist from London to Moscow during the Viet Nam War.

#10  I love the dems I really do. Heck some of their voter base consists of people who think that war is not neccesary and that we should put daisy's in guns and Unicorns romp in the fields and the birds tweet tweet.
(I borrowed the Unicorn from someone else but it's worth repeating). Bush answered the false AWOL charge great today. I wonder how Kerry will expalin away his activities after Vietnam. This is one Nam vet who hasn't fogot.

#9  Well I think a more appropriate VP for "war hero" Kerry would be Jane Fonda since they had a lot in common in supporting our troops.

#8  You Bastards you're just jealous of the sweeping change that Dr. Dean is bring to the "democratic" process. You're angry that you can't have a part in the never ending fund raising and house parties, your're jealous because you can't see the wisdom of pure ass tom foolery anymore, in short you're out of dope!

#7  Dean is NOT going away. The ventriloquist dummy will team up with the ventriloquist -- Al Gore -- and run as an alternative left-wing party. GORE/DEAN -- that is the ticket for two delusional, messianic LOSERS who believe they are the CHOSEN ONES.

#6  I smell a cracker Graham.... Kerry/Graham... too bad Graham's already lost his clout at home due to his less than inspired run to the left presidential bid.

#5  There is no way that Kerry (Massachusetts) would choose Dean (Vermont)as a VP. I saw in one of the tabloids that Kerry dated Morgan Fairchild back in 93. If Kerry picks Morgan as VP, he has my vote (of course he would lose his wife vote if he did that).

#3  Kerry/Edwards: Probably... Kerry/Gephardt: Possibly... Kerry/Dean: Even the Democrats are not THAT stupid!!!

#2  I think this match is wishfull thinking on our part. I expect that the DNC is aware that Kerry/Edwards looks like a more formitable match than Kerry/Dean. Dean also dissed Kerry too many times to be included in a Kerry administration. Clark might be the VP if that's what it takes to secure Clinton fundraising services. I doubt the Clinton's will want to participate in this election anyway.
