And I say that not because of any electability factor, but because I genuinely believe we would have a fairly even match between two white guys who would actually put country before party, and do what they thought was right.

While both are very politically savvy Washington Senate insiders, both are very savvy players and neither has sold out to the highest bidders again and again and again the way the DLC "potential" candidates I list above have.

Which would include Kerry's running mate wazzizname, too.
