My guess is that if I were a liberal, I would find Obama to be an attractive candidate. Surely the man is well spoken, charismatic – and whatever else you may believe negative about him, Obama is nobody’s fool. Even if I were liberal, I might be a bit concerned about his inexperience. But – I imagine he would get my vote anyway.
Thus, I find this bit of news/gossip almost difficult to take seriously. Some people think that Obama is going to select John Kerry as his running mate? The same guy who couldn’t beat George W. Bush when his ratings were on the downslide? The fellow who lost an election you would think that 74% of Democrats could have scooped up with relative ease?
Obama seems to smart to me for this. Then again – we have all seen much stranger happenings in politics.
