July 6, 2004 -- EXCLUSIVE

John Kerry has chosen Rep. Richard Gephardt, the veteran congressman from Missouri, to be his running mate, The Post has learned.

Gephardt, 63, a 28-year veteran of the House of Representatives, could be named by the presumptive Democratic nominee as the party's vice-presidential candidate as soon as today.

The Massachusetts senator was set to announce the winner of the veep-stakes at a rally this morning in Pittsburgh, according to several reports last night.

With the July 26 Democratic convention in Boston looming, Kerry is looking for some advantage in the polls, and is hoping his choice of running mate will be the answer.

Kerry-Gephardt 2004: Feel The Excitement.


nope, should read "Let's hope for some excitement..."

I was just looking at the Kerry logo and was wondering about the odd use of color on the flag... white star with red and blue stripes.

White star... did you know that the owner of the TITANIC was "White Star Line?"



Besides the Titanic, their ships had a reputation for crashing into other ships and sinking.

All their ships names ended in the letters "IC" like the Titanic, Brittanic, Baltic, and Germanic.... while Kerry's ship is the Democratic.

If true, I cannot wait until Vice President Cheney debates him. Lieberman had a very good debate with Cheney, but Gephardt won't stand a chance with him.

The Kerry team will have a good 3 weeks of positive news, then the gloves will come off and America will learn how liberal this man is.

President Kerry, Vice-President Gephardt, Attorney General Edwards, Chief Justice William Jefferson Clinton, Secretary of Defense Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State Maxine Waters...

I can feel the electricity in the air.

too funny

[RichInOC]

I thought the sarcasm tag was implied. My bad.

Gephardt may help carry mO

He barely won his own seat the last 2 times. I doubt his name will do much more than the the St. Louis election crooks already are doing for the Rats. I'm not sure how much headway the GOP has made battling election fraud there, but at least there have been a few signs of a fight.

[goldstategop]

Its all pure speculation. LOL!

[leadpenny]

If you're up, I'm gonna be up.

If it's Gephardt, Hillary didn't think much of f'n's chances anyway.

Lurch / Doody 2004

[OneTimeLurker]

This is defiantly seems more reliable than the Post. Also the tradesports futures make Edwards look like a sure thing.

[BigSkyFreeper]

and Treasury Secretary Al Sharpton, billed as a cabinet that reflects the face of America.

[FranklinsTower]

They'll be a miserable failure come November! I can easily see Gephardt losing his cool Howard Dean style while debating Cheney. This pick makes far easier for Pres. Bush to get reelected.

[Jet Jaguar]

Sorry, I didn't mean to steal your sarcasm! Bad on my part...

[ambrose]

I pray it isn't Hitlery. If Hillary runs, she wins. Simple as that.. look for Kerry to drop out a couple of weeks before the election due to "health reasons". There will be no time for debates or campaigning. Hillary will spend the next two weeks doing softball interviews with Katie Kouric and Oprah.

Quick, somebody replace Buffalo Bob's head with Kerry's:



Do an image search on "Buffalo Bob" for more of the same/better quality/etc.
