And by that I mean somebody who can win us Ohio. I'm not totally close minded about the idea of Dennis in the number 2 spot but I'm not sure if he could carry the Republican leaning Ohio.

Oh, if only he was 10 years younger.

Honestly, if I could vote for a Kerry-Kucinich ticket I would feel like I died and went to heaven.

btw...Marcy Kaptur is one helluva Ohio democrat.

2. We Got Nothing Here...
...State government is controlled by the GOP. Both Senators. Most Congresspersons.

Ohio has no one to add to a Kerry ticket.

But Ohio LOVES Wesley Clark--he had the most delegate applications and turn out for caucus in the state, and the best ground organization, and the most elected official endorsements. Clark would be outstanding with the thick military/veteran population in moderate Ohio. He would also deliver Arizona, New Mexico, and Arkansas.

3. I can definately see that working...
Kerry/Clark beat Bush/Chenney on national security, veterans' affairs, and the economy. If we get Ohio, we'll win.

5. LOL...
That would make a fine slogan. Better than "Two Bars & the Southern son of a mill worker."

7. Southern Son Of a Mill MANAGER...they were middle class.
Mill MANAGER, not mill worker. If you run the darn mill, that doesn't equate to 'millworker'. LOL

Two Bars & Four Stars

vs.

What are the three "r's"?

We all know who wins that contest.
