Obama-Kerry?
Editorial of The New York Sun June 17, 2008
The news that Senator Kerry's name is on a list of potential running mates that Senator Obama is circulating on Capitol Hill, according to NBC News, was enough to get our attention. Maybe they meant the president of the New School, Robert Kerrey? Both men are decorated combat veterans of Vietnam that would bring Mr. Obama some of the national security heft he is apparently seeking in a vice presidential candidate. No, according to a report in yesterday's New York Times, "During the course of two long dinners at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington this year and last, Mr. Obama sought the advice of Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts."
Ah, the Democrats, the party of the working man, where the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, lives in the Ritz-Carlton, and when the party's two presidential nominees want to go out for dinner, they do it not over beer and burgers or Chinese food, but at the Four Seasons Hotel, where the dinner menu includes foie gras and a vodka-caviar gelée. What did they talk about? Whether Mr. Kerry's Yale education was better than the one Mr. Obama got at Columbia and Harvard Law School? How Mr. Kerry dealt with the National Journal ranking as America's most liberal senator, a mantle that was later assumed by Mr. Obama? How Mr. Obama can end the Iraq War with the same sort of retreat that Mr. Kerry precipitated in Vietnam? How Mr. Kerry's alienation from Catholicism over abortion rights is similar to Mr. Obama's problem with Trinity United?

I thought Kerry was still in Cambodia.
Oh Please, Please Let This Be True!
Only for Christmas.
I’m going to start working on a plan to fuel cars from vomit.
Nothing like keeping it in the stinking Senate.
I stopped reading here..
Read the following, because it is the ultimate goal of the Soros/Kerry/Gore/Obamarxists. And don't ever forget the term "Transnational Progressives."
At least the Swift Boat Vets can save on ad production. Everything is already in the can, ready to go! Bring it on!
Perfect! Two real losers and one who ‘knows the ropes’
With Obama's excellent judgment, I would say we stand a chance.
No chance... unfortunately.
So the democratic ticket might be a horse and a weasel?
Where’s peta when you need them?
Looks like Senator Kerry may have just found a way into the White House after all. What we have on him regarding his military service isn’t going to matter one iota to Obama fans.
Anyone remember what Kerry’s position was on gay marriage? McCain staffer says McCain’s is the same.
Yeah! Right! No doubt about it!
Kerry is up for re-election in MA and can’t run for both offices (Sen & VP) at same time but who knows.
Have yourself a Kerry little Christmas
Cozy all the way
While the seat of power is so far away
You’ll be just one more lib in the Senate
Thanks to W
You won’t live on Pennsylvania Ave.
Ketchup heiress has lots of dough
Lots and lots of dough, to spend
It won’t buy you the White House though
For the voters know, my friend
Mondale, Gore, and also Mike Dukakis
Know just how you feel
When you’re seen, you just don’t have any appeal
So have yourself a Kerry little Christmas, now
Ain’t happening. Too good to be true.
One can only hope.
Recent poll results just from last night (WHDH-TV Boston)

No one would confuse Deval Patrick with John Kerry, but they do have similarities. Both are lawyers with Ivy League degrees, both are liberals who like life’s luxuries, and both could lose their jobs.
When John Kerry won his senate seat in 1984, the Celtics were winning an NBA title with the original Big Three, and at the State House, Governor Mike Dukakis wasn’t even thinking about the White House.
Since then, Kerry has won three more terms in the Senate, but he hasn’t won the hearts of state voters.
Our exclusive 7News Suffolk University Poll proves it: __Just 38% of Bay State voters hope he’s re-elected in November, while 51%—more than half—want someone new__. Nine per cent don’t know yet what they want.
“These numbers signal vulnerability. In a perfect world, this would be a huge problem for John Kerry. The hook is, is there a candidate on the ballot who can beat him,” Professor David Paleologos, Suffolk University, said.
Governor Deval Patrick doesn’t do much better.
Gov. Patrick says, “...by the end of my second term...”
Patrick is already talking as if he’s won four more years, but our poll found only 39% of state voters believe he deserves re-election...and 41% want to give someone else a chance. Twenty percent are undecided.
In fact, given his close relationship with Barack Obama, many voters here won’t be surprised if Patrick is in Washington when the next governor’s race rolls around in 2010.
Asked if Patrick would join a President Obama’s administration 47% said yes, 20% no, with 31% not sure.

“You are going to run for re-election?”
Deval Patrick, Governor
“Of course, that’s the plan.”
Andy Hiller, 7News Political Editor
“What if Obama is elected and offers you a job in his administration?”
Deval Patrick, Governor
“Then I will say, ‘Mr. President I’m honored to be asked, but I can do more good for you and the Commonwealth if I remain as Governor’—I’ve rehearsed that, thank you very much.”
Andy Hiller, 7News Political Editor
“Care to know what percentage of state voters don’t believe that?”
Deval Patrick, Governor
“No.”
I believe the Governor, because he’d be nuts to say he won’t take a job with President Obama so clearly unless he’s sure he wouldn’t.
But I also think John Kerry would, because I suspect Kerry has the same opinion of Massachusetts voters as our poll says they have of him.
I’m Andy Hiller, that’s my “Instinct.”
Oh yeah! Is it my birthday?
Just think of the “O - K” slogans and bumper stickers from their initials. Of course, if you use their first-name initials.......
“...and when the party’s two presidential nominees want to go out for dinner, they do it not over beer and burgers or Chinese food, but at the Four Seasons Hotel, where the dinner menu includes foie gras and a vodka-caviar gelée.”
Do they serve arugula as well?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
The messiah and the dork.
Can this stuff get any funnier...
Put him on the ticket and let's go over it all again - talk about stupid. Are the democraps that dumb. Anything is possible with a party that could look at all of it's governors, senators and other high profile people and come up with the PIAPS and the Magic Negro, as their choices for President...
Wow! What a day Obama is having! First the coveted Gore endorsement and now he may pick a “war hero” as his running mate. It doesn’t get any better than this!!
Muslim - Traitor Ticket... yippeee!!! It’ll be a fun fall.
Yeah, decorated with rice kernels on his butt.
What is worse than picking a VP candidate that lost in the last election for your VP? Picking the dork that ran for president and lost as your VP!
Looking at the picture of Gore and Obama from yesterday it occurs to me that Gore has lost weight. I interpret that to mean that Gore will be the pick for VP.
Absurd suggestion.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., right, and former Vice President Al Gore wave to the audience at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Monday, June 16, 2008. Gore announced his endorsement of Obama.
Yeah, I think Gore is looking slimmer. By August he’ll be back to his fighting weight. I think he wants back in the game and will be Obama’s Veep pick, probably with some environmental czardom thrown in. Politically it would be a great choice for Obama.
Kerry??? Tonk is gonna come back and haunt his arse big time.
You have to do the first initials together, then the last initials together. THEN, you’d have a chant to remember. Well, at least you’d have the frat boy vote...
No amount of wing will get that piggy to fly. :-)
sidesplitting
....and it rhymes!
I noticed Gore had on his running for office figure too.
He’s up to somthing with that. Maybe when they need to dump
Obama (skeletons in his closet) at the convention and can’t throw it to Clinton without starting a civil war at the convention , everyone turns to a Gore/Clinton ticket.
Maybe Obama has been a stalking horse for a switch and bait
campaign all along.
Osama is stupid but he ain’t that stupid.
No, but he did serve in VietNam.
There ought to be a good supply before this election cycle is over.
I can't believe that no one has commented on it. It is one of those little gems that come along, and you know you have to file it in your mind, as it has import beyond the topic of this post.
My guess is that someone will come across it a decade or two from now and ask, "Why didn't we see it coming? How did we lose our freedom ?" I had just commented on the post Why Iraqis Back McCain on the poll taken in countries around the globe indicating that Obama is the favorite nearly everywhere from Japan to Russia to Europe and the Third World. I commented that it was now that I understood how the Man of Perdition will come to power. The TransNational Progressives are Big Brother, and we are headed for Hell in a Handbasket.
Your link is terrifying in its implications.
Whoah!
