McCain as Potential Kerry pick

Political junkies continue to speculate about who John Kerry might pick as his running mate, with the Boston Globe reporting talks with Senator John Edwards, Rep. Dick Gephardt, and Governors Bill Richardson and Tom Vilsack. The article centers on speculation as to whether Senator John McCain might be chosen. One thing I think is for sure, former Sen. Bob Kerrey is not likely to get the call -- beyond his problems in Vietnam, a Kerry-Kerrey ticket is just too confusing!
