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...
Don't misunderstand me. I'm not in love with the guy. I just think he would have had a better chance of delivering MO than John Jr. does at delivering NC. I could be wrong. But, somebody likes him. He's been in Congress for 150 years.
