John Kerry for Obama VP?

Wow, didn’t see this coming.  Rumor mill has it that John Kerry is on Obama’s short list for VP.

“Kerry brings more money and name recognition to the table than any other name on the Obama list so far. Americans do tend to love a comeback kid and this would be the most amazing political comeback since Richard Nixon came back from the dead forty years ago.”

I guess Obama figures he isn’t smug enough he needs Senator Kerry on the team to really maximize the aloofness factor.
