Ara Rubyan, buttocks still stinging from a recent spanking, has presented an interesting possibility for the Democrats this year.
What if Kerry picked John Glenn for his running mate?
As I said over there:
This may shock a couple of folks, but I voted for Glenn regularly. :)
Now, if it were Glenn/Kerry, instead of the other way around, now... Heh.
Actually, Glenn is probably the only Democrat who could beat Bush at the flight-suit game: Marine aviator, ace, war hero (no "missing" medals or war crimes here!!), and the first American in orbit to boot.
I have to say, if he were (say) 10-15 years younger, and the Dem Presidential candidate, I would be tempted. Really, I would.
So, what do you think, y'all? Could a Kerry/Glenn ticket do it? Even more so, would a Glenn/Kerry ticket make you stop, think, and maybe putl the "D" lever this fall?
The phone lines are open...

No way.
make it say Glenn/Miller (Zel not Dennis).

For a minute I thought you were talking about the old "Big Band" leader. Heh.
That's an interesting suggestion, though.

It would be a strict image thing though, because as I understand it, Glenn has lost a lot of his shine among the space and techie groups.

True. Sad, but true. :(

Uhmm... no.
Lieberman/Miller maybe, probably even.
But no ticket with Kerry on it would ever get my vote.
