wbztv.com - Senator John Kerry For Vice President?But on the other hand, the idea does have a certain 'appeal'.BOSTON (WBZ) ― Barack Obama has yet to name a vice presidential nominee and some are wondering if he might turn to Massachusetts to round out the ticket.
John Kerry for vice president?
Don't dismiss the notion just yet.
Some political insiders are telling WBZ it could happen.
So why would Obama reach out to Kerry as his choice?
Kerry brings more money and name recognition to the table than any other name on the Obama list so far. Americans do tend to love a comeback kid and this would be the most amazing political comeback since Richard Nixon came back from the dead forty years ago.
You've got Do-Nothing Kerry. And Done-Nothing Obama. Between the two of them, it's quite possible the next 4 years would see our government at a complete standstill.
Assuming, of course, you think that's a GOOD thing.
But if such a matchup happens, I don't really care how the Democratic Party will try to spin it - I think it'd show their rank and file just how little any sort of actual accomplishment means when it comes to who they're gonna nominate for the top job. Do they really think they can get by on just image and fantasy?
And I guess it also shows just how much Kerry depends on being someone else's sock puppet...
