Bill Bradley VP?

[TheReligiousLeft]

I don't even remember where this fellow is from. Would he help a ticket at all or no? Just a thought. Tell me what you think.

1. No

Adding Bradley won't help the ticket. He's a lousy, uninspired campaigner who ran a lousy, uninspired campaign against Al Gore for the nomination in 2000. Although he's from Missouri, his political base was New Jersey, a state which Al Gore carried by a huge margin in 2000. If we need Bradley's help to carry New Jersey in 2000, we're in serious trouble. Besides, Bradley hasn't been a senator in over six years, and in his last election he nearly lost to Christie Whitman -- it was that near loss which propelled Whitman to the governor's mansion.

2. Ah, so much for that.

3. He might of boosted Gore in N.H., Florida, and Missouri...

N.H. gave him more votes than any other primary, and a lot of Nader voters in Florida would of likely voted for Gore with Bradley on the ticket. And Missouri is the state where the Senator grew up, and which Gore also lost.

After being out of the public eye since 2000, I don't think he would provide that same kind of boost this year.

4. Too bad, any boost would be a good thing.

5. Why would Nader voters like Bradley?

Bradley isn't that liberal. Labor unions sure don't like him.

6. New Jersey...thanks a lot!

I know, we are just so forgettable!
