Kerry/Clinton 42%
Bush/Cheney 47%

Another thing; why is the media so fixated on Hillary?  Kerry isn't going to pick her.

The only conservative Democrats left reside in the South and there is no way in hell John Kerry will win a single state in the South.  No Southerner on the ticket will make the South swallow John Kerry.

Florida is different than the rest of the south, so, Graham or Nelson would be good selections.

On the other hand, if Kerry picks a really centrist running mate like Evan Bayh, he may very well lose the votes of progressives to Nader.  I for one, will NOT vote for someone who favored Bush's tax cuts, as Bayh did.

Yeah I know. That's what I've been telling everybody all along, and nobody else seems to grasp this.

Since Kerry himself isn't all that liberal on economic issues, he almost has to pick someone like Kucinich to balance the ticket and to avoid alienating liberal voters.

Kerry does not need to balance the ticket to the left, no way.

Don't try telling Bandit that

You technically can win the white house with 11 votes.

That's assuming lower turnout. You can win with 17% of the vote in a two-man race with normal turnout.

Well, if you win TX, CA, NY, etc. each by one vote to zero, you can win with only about a dozen votes.

I hope you all know that no Democrat has ever become president that hasnt won at least 5 southern states. Good luck Kerry.

Political analysts are in agreement that Kerry can win without winning a single southern state.

Is that likely to happen? Doubtful.

Who do you say that?  Look:

Gore-NM-IA=248+OH+NH=272

See, it's more than doable.

West Virginia likely will swing to JFK too.

Actually there's quite a bit of discussion in the funny papers about 2000 was just a fluke.  That the union types preferred being told how to vote by their Union Masters.  Don't know if I buy that though.  What do you think?

Gore won 65% of the union vote I think...Kerry will probably do about the same, maybe a little better, and alot better if he chooses Gephardt as his running mate.
