Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

Walter "Fritz" Mondale knows precisely what’s weighing heavily on Sen. John Kerry’s mind these days.

He’ll tell you the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee is pondering the selection of his running mate, a decision that Mondale says will be one of Kerry’s most important in the 2004 campaign.

"He’s doing it the way I would recommend — he is working through Jim Johnson and others in a very discreet way, looking at all the possibilities in an effort to come up with the person who best measures up to the presidency," Mondale said, referring to his former top aide. "And that’s what you’re doing: picking someone who might be president." - "Mondale on Kerry: I know what he’s going through" Jackson County Mail Tribune

But Fritz, you must have some suggestions for Mr. Kerry.  Come on, what's your best advice?

"Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska could be a coalition builder for Kerry."

    Is this party politically bankrupt , or what?.  The Donk "dream ticket" is Kerry-McCain; now here's "Kerry-Hagel."  Oh yeah, Mondale's own "person who best measures up to the presidency" was Geraldine Ferraro.
