The Kerry campaign did not release a short list for VP candidates.
This diary is false. The diary links to an
article that is just speculation from unnamed Democrats -- not necessarily affiliated with Kerry's campaign.
Other potential candidates that pop up most often are North Carolina Senator John Edwards; former Nebraska Governor and Senator Bob Kerrey; Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius; William Cohen, a Republican from Maine who served in the U-S Senate and as defense secretary under Bill Clinton; New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson; Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack and Missouri Congressman Dick Gephardt.

Kerry refuses to discuss the issue.
So, quit the premature hand wringing or celebrating, whatever the case may be.
