(2004-03-06) -- In an early attempt to quell the questioning about whom he will pick as a running mate, Sen. John Forbes Kerry, the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, said today that he has hired Dr. Neil Clark Warren, founder of eHarmony.com, to screen potential vice presidential candidates.
"Traditional veep-search processes give you a picture and paragraph," said Dr. Clark Warren. "We go much deeper, comparing the candidates on 29 dimensions of compatibility. The first step is for Sen. Kerry to understand himself. Once he knows what he believes in, it will be easier to find a political relationship that works."
'Veepstakes' speculation has run rampant among political pundits since Mr. Kerry locked up the nomination with his Super Tuesday primary sweep last week. However, the junior senator from Massachusetts actually started the search process several months ago, according to Dr. Clark Warren.
"I sent him the link to our free personality profile some time ago," he said. "For a man like John Kerry, it may be the toughest test he faces during this campaign. But once he's done the profile, we won't just locate a running mate, we'll find him a soul mate."
