Noam Scheiber points us to a Newsweek article saying the Veepstakes is a 2-man race between Gephardt and Vilsack. Of course, We at Bruno & The Prof have been long fans of th “A.B.G.” (“Anyone Buy Gephardt”) strategy, so we’re glad to hear that there’s still a chance of a non-Gephardt VP ticket.
I guess it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Kerry has hinted in public that he’s ready to write off the South, so I can see why he wouldn’t choose Edwards. The way you write off the South and still win is by making substantial inroads in the Midwest. Hence Vilsack and Gephardt.
I suppose it’s too late to hope for a Kerry-Hagel unity ticket?
