The Next Best Thing to Being President
As the veepstakes begins in earnest, this column proposes something that never occurred to me: A Kerry-Clinton ticket. No, not that Clinton. Stephen Gillers suggests that Kerry should choose Bill Clinton as his running mate. Imagine it! Who has more experience in providing solid leadership to the nation than President Clinton? Given the opportunity to focus, you know this man could deliver a solution for health care. He's still brilliant, still thoughtful--and he could get out there on the stump for months and charm voters in the South, and get black turnout higher than it's ever been in a year when black voters are already motivated by memories of 2000. If John Kerry is serious about being the "second black president," he should consider running with the first.
