Kerry-Dean?Steve answers my last post on Dean over at Golgonooza, and even complains about being misquoted. But I wasn't quoting! I was paraphrasing! Good God.
After the Iowa caucus a few people speculated about a Kerry-Edwards ticket. But after Edwards' slump in New Hampshire, and Dean's modest comeback, why not a Kerry-Dean romance? Is there any serious reason why it should be impossible? Dean has too large an ego to be vice president, sure. Kerry has too many black eyes from him, and vice versa. They represent opposite wings of the Democratic party; they're both from New England. All splendidly conventional reasons. But what about an enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend rationale? An organize-all-Democrats-under-one-roof kind of deal? Just this once? I'd rather have the ticket read Dean-Kerry, myself, but either way it could be a powerful alliance.
My heart thumped when I read Sullivan's posts on Dean, Kerry, and Bush (especially Bush). I couldn't agree more.
