Most people don't know who he is. Low name recognition.

The LLL does, and it will drive them into al-Nadirs arms.

Nunn has supported missile defense, while Kerry has opposed it.

Nunn as a hawkish corporate board sitting VP candidate... The Democrats lose those as talking points vs Cheney

People will wonder why Nunn is the Veep candidate and Kerry is the Pres candidate!

In the 2000 election, he was practically a conservative.

Maybe Kerry is just continuing to float the names of conservatives as a ruse to help him with moderates. McCain until that got put to rest-now Nunn for a few days or weeks. I wonder who is next?

You provide an extensive list of negatives for Nunn, including his opposing positions on issues compared to Kerry, but don't forget that Kerry was willing (read begging) to have have McCain on his ticket. McCain has a similar if not more conservative record than Nunn.

Kerry needs someone strong on security issues and a politician. Nunn would be a strong "unity" addition even if he is a Southern conservative Democrat. I want GWB to win. Nunn will make it a little more difficult.
