Here's a wild idea: Dean for VP

If a conservative, if principled, guy like McCain is being seriously considered by everyone, then my idea ain't that far out there.

And by Dean, I mean John Dean, of course.

He's been a pretty harsh Bush critic. He'd be a constrast to Cheney with regard to White House shenanigans; Dean went with his conscience in Watergate; Cheney goes with his pocketbook. He could be cast as a watchdog to make sure no one in Kerry's administration ever tries to abuse the constitution.

Has anyone seen him speak? Is he any good? Is he charismatic? Bush-criticisms aside, is he left or right of center in other views?
