Probably during the convention. His choice of running mate will assist me in determining whether or not I vote for him.

It will be interesting to see what kinda pick he goes for, Probably a middle man/or strong arm type but, I would tend to throw more support behind him if he goes Environment friendly (I guess you could say more liberal).

I'm curious sir, how so? Or...who would you LIKE to see as his running mate?

I'd like to see Wesley Clark maybe. I haven't really thought about it much.

If Kerry chooses either Wesley Clark or John McCain (longshot, but we never know), then he definitely has my vote.

John McCain is a nice pipe dream I'll admit...but I don't see it happening in reality. The party lines are to deeply dug in from that kind of bipartisan wet dream to happen. I think he's most likely to choose Edwards, but I hope I'm wrong.

Clark would be good. I just want a man up top with some REAL military experience. A person who has first hand experience with the actual costs of war is more likely to make good decisions about it I feel. I hoped clark would win the primary.

I wonder if he'll announce his running mate, then the next day announce someone else and deny he ever picked the first person. :D

Yeah, same here. Given my busy schedule (42-50 hr. work week, 2 grad school courses, 1 ug course), I was still prepared to volunteer for the Clark effort, had it continued.

It also looks to me like Edwards would be the logical choice for the Kerry camp.

I'm not sure Kerry can wait until the convention. The Bushies are unloading on Kerry while GWB pretends he's above the fray. Kerry needs a credible, intelligent bulldog to sic on Bush/Cheney. Granted, Ted Kennedy looks like a bulldog but I wouldn't call him credible.

I thought Edwards would have been the logical alternative to Kerry but I would enjoy seeing him as a runningmate. It would definitely make me more excited about the election...

The Dub's handlers are to smart to let the Dub debate Kerry mnore than he has too. Even though bthe Dub didn't hurt himself aginst Gore in 2000 he now has all the baggage of his last 3 years in office to deal with and should make for a nice target for criticisms from the Kerry camp.

Plus, lets face it...The Dub is pretty slow witted. Thrown into an unscripted debate, Kerry would eat him alive. If they're smart they'll dodge as many debates as they can....and only agree to ones with scripted questioning his handlers can try to prepare him for.

To help our Godly president out we should take turns commiting terrorist acts right before the debates, so he is too busy fighting terrorism to debate.
