Poll question: Battle of the Longshot Veeps
Can't seem to swing a dead chimp without hitting a VP poll around here, so it's time for the longshots, the political third rails, to get some representation!

Which of the following unlikely match-ups is the least unlikely? (Or, for you fans of the succinct, which is most likely?)

3. In this circumstance, Kerry/Dean
But otherwise, that would be a bad pick to have two northeastern progressives on the ticket.

5. Kerry/Gore? - New England plus the South?
And everybody loves Al after he won in 2000.

A surefire victory.

6. Oh damn
I misread the question too. D'oh!

Well, since I think four of the alternatives have a probability essentially equal to zero, and the other two only barely greater than zero, I suppose it doesn't matter.

7. it almost has to be Hillary if she wants to be prez ever
if she runs and loses, oh well. if she runs and they win then its wait 4-8 years for her turn otherwise it's 12=16 years and thats too long a wait.

If it looks like Kerry has a chance I think it will be her.

12. Why not Kerry/Kucinich or Kerry/Clark?
Kerry/Clark puts a southerner on the ticket and hammers the Busholinis on defense. Kerry/Kucinich energizes the party and might make the difference in Ohio's electoral vots.

13. cause
Kerry/Clark is not a "long-Shot" ticket...that's why it's not on there.

I don't know why Kucinich isn't there...maybe because he's still running against Kerry.
