(2004-07-05) — In an effort to balance the Democrat presidential ticket, John Forbes Kerry today named himself as his running mate.
In an email note to one million supporters and journalists, Mr. Kerry wrote, “The Kerry/Kerry ticket is all about inclusion, diversity and opening the flaps of the big tent we call the Democrat party.”
The presidential hopeful said his VP pick “not only sees eye-to-eye with me on most issues, but also opposes me on most issues. No matter how a voter stands on any issue, he’ll find what he’s looking for in the Kerry/Kerry campaign.”
