Kerry's team vetting VP choices
Kerry people, listen to me DO NOT LET GEPHARDT NEAR YOUR TICKET!
No one will vote for a Spineless Albino who couldn't win his own state let alone bring those swing states over during the big dance!
Cigarettes are bad for your health regular, unfiltered, light whatever your poison is, the same is true with politicians. Republican and Democrats ultra lights are just as bad for you and the country as unfiltered variety they are all poison and must be avoided.
With a Gephardt on the VP ticket why not tell Progressives and Liberals the Democratic party is off limits to them, why not put that sign on the door. This Moderate ticket they keep trying to put Kerry will shut out the real problems this country faces, Energy independance, terrorism, The economy, the deficit, outrageous cost of medicine in this country and so forth by pandering to the "Nascar Dads" who are a small voting block anyway or stressing tax breaks for people who dont need them.
So do you want ultra light Gephardt?

Democrat John Kerry's campaign has begun background checks of top running mate prospects, including former rivals Dick Gephardt and John Edwards, while other hopefuls anxiously await word that they're worthy of a Washington "vetting."
Several Democratic officials familiar with the selection process said Wednesday that background checks have been under way for several weeks. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said individuals other than Gephardt and Edwards are under consideration, but they would not identify them -- nor say how many there were.
The candidates are known only by Kerry, a handful of advisers and a team of lawyers conducting background checks that are described as unusually thorough.
One Democrat mentioned as a favorite of several Kerry advisers, if not necessarily the candidate himself, is Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack. But officials said it was unclear whether the campaign had begun a background check -- called "vetting" in Washington parlance.
Judging by the cases of Gephardt and Edwards, the selection process may be farther along than previously thought. Still, campaign officials said Kerry will not make his choice anytime soon.
"There is certainly a good argument for waiting -- to bring an element of excitement into the presidential convention in July," said Anita Dunn, a Democratic strategist who does not work for Kerry.
"On the other hand, the White House has the luxury of sending Vice President Cheney out in the traditional role of attack dog while letting the president deliver a positive message, which forces Kerry to try to figure out who he's going to answer on a given day," Dunn said. "Kerry may want help."
Kerry aides declined to comment, citing their boss' desire to keep the search discreet.
