MSNBC is reporting that Kerry is down to three, maybe four short list VP candidates, but there's the odd dark horse. While some are looking for McCain Lite (Nunn, others), the real focus is on Tom Vilsack, Kathryn Sebelius, and Dick Gephardt. None of these is a winner, though I guess Sebelius is at least symbolically progressive -- but then again, so was Geraldine Ferraro and where did that get Mondale?

With gas prices down (and no, it's not a conspiracy by Bush, but his short-sighted position on energy should be blamed) and now this bombshell, he's past the worst of it with five months to campaign.

You know what we're in for? Clinton's second term, all over again, mirror image. With movies and books out and a short-term memory society, it won't take much to scandalize the next four years. Ready made topics like war crimes, profiteering, and more, the only difference will be a Republican-controlled Congress and, too soon and too importantly, a conservative Supreme Court.

Smarter people than I will have to figure out what that means, but the Kerry campaign will have to, you know, CAMPAIGN or something, praying that Bush implodes or that Josh Marshall has a really big story coming. While Kerry's VP's aren't winners, Kerry isn't looking like one either.
