This makes me more convinced that Kerry blew it by not choosing Gephardt for his VEEP. Geppie probably would have carried Mo. John Jr. will NOT carry North Carolina.
What's your take on your state?
If anything, "Geppie" would have killed Kerry's chance of winning Missouri. Just a native son's opinion.
If one superimposes the 1999 CCW vote Map of Missouri over the Red/Blue Map of election 2K of Missouri, the similarities are striking...Gabby would bring the union vote in Missouri to Kerry. But he already has it. Ditto the Black, "intelligensia," and urban-liberal vote. I frankly, see no benefit to Gabby as VP. In fact he has resided in the Carolinas for years and used his Mother's apt. as his Missouri address...
