whoa. now i'm impressed. Kerry actually pulled another stunner out of his hat and won the New Hampshire Primary.

well, he just proved he didn't just have some first-rate "joementum" going for him. this was Dean's primary for all we knew. good for him. great for him, actually. and great for us too. Kerry wasn't my first pick for a candidate (Clark and Dean shared that dream; although, that was before Clark showed us he's not really a campaign person -- at all).

so yesterday evening at work, i started talking to this friend of mine who's also following american politics. he had one hell of a great idea that now seemed to be the best thing for democrats (and the country) -- a Kerry/Dean ticket. think about this, Kerry brings in all the older crowd, the washington people, and Dean, well, Dean brings in pretty much everyone else. so my friend thought Dean should tell Kerry that he would step aside and give him the nomination if he could be vice-president. i don't think Dean worked way too hard at this point to just drop out in a few weeks (and this NH victory for Kerry solidifies his chances at the nomination). and vice-president doesn't sound too bad; look what it got Cheney.

i thought this was a great idea. people should talk about this in the Dean camp. and Dean would be the best choice for Kerry.
