any reason why he couldn't pick Dean as his VP? The idea of two NE liberals on the ticket is a bit funny, but they would certainly have enough money and resources to be competitive with Bush and it would be a simbolic joining of the establishment wing of the democratic party and those outside the mainstream. And, the party could have its attack dog (Dean) going after the Republicans while Kerry stays mostly away from the attacks and gets to look presidental whatever the hell that is. Now, I don't think for one moment it is likely to happen, but it would be interesting none the less.
