How is this for a long shot VP?

[ps1074]

I think he can bring moderate republicans to vote for Kerry. Yes, he is from small state and is old but so what?

so... my pick is <drum rols>....



Sen. Jim Jeffords

What do you guys think?

[JI7]

1. vermont has a republican governor

4. Yes, And they are begging for a chance to dump the Jef

If you're going to go with vermont, pick Dean.

If you really want a Republican Senator from a North Eastern state, try Olympia Snowe. I have no idea why she's a Republican.

2. Geography

Big Dog did it with Al, but it usually comes into play in the big EC picture.
I do like the guy.
...O...

3. What about Bob Graham from Florida?

He has experience as a governor and a senator, and a good record on senior citizen issues, education, the environment, immigration, etc. etc.

5. Graham and National Security

Graham has awesome NS creds, and has shown no bones about dogging Bush for his foul ups.

Governor and Senator, he's one of Florida's favorite sons.

6. Yeah, reading his "credits"

I see a lot of positives and not really any negatives. It says that he wrote "parts" of the Patriot Act, but I'm going to assume that the parts that he wrote were really about SECURITY and not about invading everyone's privacy on a whim. Since Florida has a big senior population and a big immigrant population, he's got plenty of experience dealing with the issues and challenges of both groups.
