Breaking: Obama's First Choice for Veep is John Kerry
I’ve got this straight from David Plouffe, Barack Obama’s campaign manager.
Ok, I got it straight from Plouffe—via three intermediaries. You know, kind of like that scene in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off—“My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.”
But Obama’s number one pick for Veep as of today is (drum roll please!)
Sen. John Kerry!
Huh?
Yup the guy who ran for President from my party—and lost—four years ago. And his goofy wife Teresa Heinz.
And who else is on The List?
In no particular order, Gov. Tim Kaine (unacceptable), Sen. Joe Biden (acceptable) and Sen. Evan Bayh (who?).
No woman. No Hillary. No general. No decent governor like Kathleen Sebelius, Bill Richardson, Mark Warner, or Brian Schweitzer.
Let’s hope my best friend’s sister’s boyfriend has it wrong.
Why, Obama, why have you become such a dork since the primaries?

When I think change, I think Kerry, Biden and Bayh
How do you say that skippy????? Oh ya
I'm just say-n
Oh well. At least the "rich wife" mantra of the leftists will go away. Except that TerRAYza is far from a trophy.
Wow. Now that real CHANGE.
Sorry..."that's."
Wesleeeeee! (A *real* fighting man that did not graduate 857th in his class.)
Wesleeeee is sounding more like McCain when it comes to Georgia. Now Obama is apparently ignoring Wesleeeee. Big mistake for the Obama campaign.
And of course Kerry's Yale grades weren't any better than Bush's....
nader says it is going to be HRC.. another 4 years of Clinton is HUGE change......
I like Senator Kerry, I liked him in 2003/2004 and have followed his polictics ever since. He is a hell if a lot more progressive that any others named and he and Senator Obama share many of the same ideas for move America forward. I personally thing Obama could do a lot worse than chosing Senator Kerry.
