Dean for VP
John Kerry is expected to choose his running mate soon. Many people have suggested John Edwards, or Dick Gephardt. Both are uninspiring. I didn't like either one when they were running for President, and I don't like them now. Which brings me to Howard Dean. Dean was my choice for President, and now with Kerry running a boring campaign, a little bit of Dean's fire might be the remedy. Check out this Zogby Poll comparing a Kerry/Dean, Kerry/Gephardt, and a Bush/Cheney ticket. According to this poll, Kerry/Dean does way better then Kerry/Gephardt.
Another important consideration, is the Nader factor that I mentioned yesterday. Barring the electoral college manuveur, putting Dean on the ticket could dry up a great deal of Nader's support.
Personally, I'd rather see a Dean/Kerry ticket, but thanks to the foolish 'electability' non-issue that was raised during the primaries, that's not going to happen.
If you agree that Dean could be the inspiration John Kerry needs the sign this petition to Draft Dean for VP.
