I heard that Kerry's folks are actively wooing Sam Nunn who was one of the few decent Dems elected to office in the past 25 years....

He could woo Sam all he wants - I don't think he'd go for it. Personally, I hope he picks Iowa's Governor - so we can get rid of him.

I read over at DU that Kerry was considering William Cohen, Clinton's former Secretary of defense. I wonder if Kerry is playing possum and floating names (Gephart, Edwards) when he really plans to announce a surprise like Cohen.

They said that Gephardt was seen going into Kerry's office. Maybe it was so Kerry could break the rejection to him gently.

I was hoping he's pick Boxer, Feinstein, or Pelosi so we could get rid of one of them....

I think I might die laughing if his problem winds up being that nobody will run with him.

Last night Chris Matthews was certain it would be John Edwards. Further, Chris said Edwards was the one who could take out Dick Cheney's kneecaps in a debate. "Cream him", said Chris.

He used the kneecaps phrase at least twice.

Well. As if we needed more proof the he is unhinged. Edwards cream Dick Cheney? I think not.

Yes, janet is sexy....but I could see someone knocking off the head guy to get a black woman as first black First Lady. I don't think Kerry has the gonads.

I sure agree with your tag line and would not want to be on the wrong side of that issue on "judgement day".

Even to consider Cohen would be a slap in the face of Wesley Clark, who has a lot more admirers on the ultra-left than Kerry does.
