160. Seriously, that would never happen because ....

the rules of politics is against it. It nothing personal on Dean - when a candidate loses the way Dean did, rising to the top for so long and then sinking like a rock, he is considered damaged goods.

Choosing Dean as a running mate would be political suicide for Kerry, and Kerry's poll numbers would tank overnight.

I'm being serious here.

Another reason is that Dean would be a distraction to a Kerry ticket. Kerry is the top dog, and Dean doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that can play second. He's gotta be the quarterback, and that's what people want who suggest he be on the ticket, really. Not a realistic ticket.
