YOU have the power to pick the VP

Just kidding. Who would give Kerry the greatest advantage over GWB?

If Kerry had McCain (a moderate-liberal Republican), he might actually get my vote just based on Kerry's odds of getting hit by a meteor. It'd never happen though.

The VP doesn't mean much. It can be a big negative, but not a big positive. Kerry will probably not take anyone from congress. He might take a governer from a tight state. I think Ed Rendell would be a good choice, but Rendell has a bit of a colorful past. The conventional wisdom is leaning toward Bill Richardson. The election might be so close that even New Mexico could make a big difference.

Even though I've heard McCain flat out deny the possiblity that he might accept the VP slot on Kerry's tickett, and is the head of Bush's re-election campaign in his home state, it'd still be nice to get that kind of unity.
