Is it Gephardt?
Labor leaders believe union friend Rep. Dick Gephardt has the inside track to be Sen. John Kerry 's vice president. We hear that AFL-CIO execs say it's a done deal.
Suggested campaign slogan
Kerry-Leopard - Changing their spots daily just to survive... It's a jungle out there.
The dullard hasn't won the nomination yet...The Klinkster's book is coming out, and he and Her Heinousness will be dominating the media for the next few weeks. It'll be No. 1 on the NYT best-seller list, he'll be on ALL the talking head shows (except Brit Hume or O'Reilly).
Not to mention the little brouhaha in Beantown with the police union - havta wonder if the Clintons have their tentacles all over THAT.
Missouri is not a done deal for Kerry if Poco Loco Dickey is on the ticket. Remember how Dick was going to get all of the union vote in Iowa and they organized for him? He came in fourth.
Like Kerry he voted for the Iraq war. This will alienate some Democrats that are already holding their nose with Kerry. With Gephardt the stench will be so bad, they will not be able to take it and bolt to Nader.
Yawn. zzzzzz...
Gephardt makes Kerry look like Mr. Personality.
In a way, it makes a strange sort of sense. John rarely if ever spends any time with his fellow Senators on Capitol Hill. Dick rarely if ever sees his constituents in MO. John won't show up, Dick won't leave!
You are right. Gephardt has not been a state-wide candidate before.
Kerry/Gephardt -- Dull and Duller.
If this really happens, you have GOT to send that in to the RNC. And to Hannity, Rush, and the others. That's a winner.
Maybe registered could design their campaign poster.
I think this is a good choice...for Republicans.Gephardt is not totally over the edge, unlike a lot of Democrats these days. But he's old-school Democrat - pro-labor, caring for the working man, etc, and that just isn't the soul of the Democrat Party these days. I think the real core of the Democrat Party is the rage of Dean, the hatred of Judeo-Christian America, gay marriage and the ACLU. Just my opinion
I think Gephardt is an uninspired choice.
Dull and duller
Gephardt can't carry his own family.
This is good news, Gephart is a tired old fart. Gephart and Lurch would be the embodyment of "dull". I think Edwards would have been a better choice, at least he has a little Charisma.
They are going the Goebbels root. Excellent!
They are going the Goebbels route. Excellent!
Exactly, and if the state votes the same way it did before Missouri will land on Bush's lap.
Oh, I really hope this is true. A stagnant icon of Old Labor, who may not even help them win the big MO.
Bring it!
