Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee

6.17.2004

The John Edwards for veep bandwagon continues to roll on. As this article in the Hill points out, a number of House members are trying to pressure Sen. John Kerry to pick the outgoing North Carolina Senator.

If history is any lesson, the running mate a nominee eventually picks is usually an unexpected one. From what I've picked up, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack may be off the shortlist, while Rep. Richard Gephardt, Gen. Wes Clark, and Edwards are still being considered.

The buzz is that Kerry will name his running mate following the July 4 holiday. That may provide the best opportunity for him to hog the headlines as people go back to work after the long weekend.
