2004 Presidential Election
John Kerry was supposed to be in Denver today for a campaign swing through the normally ignored, presumed safe red state, Colorado. He cancelled his trip out of respect for former President Ronald Reagan, according to the Denver Post [June 7, 2004, "Kerry salutes Reagan, halts campaign events"]. From the article, "Kerry's campaign said it was canceling all public events through Friday, including a Monday fundraiser in Denver and concerts in Los Angeles and in New York."
Here's an article highlighting John Kerry's short list of Vice Presidential candidates from the New York Times, via the Denver Post [June 7, 2004, "Potential VP picks sing the praises of Kerry"]. The article claims that the list is down to Bob Graham, John Edwards, and Bob Vilsack. From the article, "Like any presumptive nominee, Kerry has many more surrogates at the ready, from fellow members of Congress to governors to his own campaign officials and even his crewmates from the Vietnam War. But those who have been considered by Kerry or still hope to be - a list that includes Edwards, Gephardt, retired Gen. Wesley Clark of Arkansas and Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico - may have more cachet, aides acknowledge, and they have been quick to comply with requests from Kerry's campaign."
