The question is: If not Hillary, than who?
Dean-Bush tidbit: George W. Bush's grandmother was one of Howard Dean's grandmother's bridesmaid

It used to be a staple of American politics that geographical balance was needed for a successful ticket-- Northeastener JFK needed LBJ and the southern region, Southerner Jimmy Carter needed the midwest's Walter Mondale.... but with this neo-style of politics-- Clinton-Gore both southeners, Bush-Cheney, who added nothing geographically (3 electorial votes?) or ideologically to the ticket, I dunno?
I don't know that Dean would need someone from a different geographical region as much as he'd need someone to help him counter the "liberal" tag that's coming. I'm surprised John Edwards hasn't caught on more with the Democrats. He was positioning himself as Clinton II (minus the "issues"). I have to admit, I 've not focused on him, nor even Dean at this point.
