Clinton-Kerrey?

This article makes the interesting case that should Hillary get the D nomination, that one of her short-list picks for VP is none other than Bob Kerrey. He, the former Senator from Nebraska, and lately President of NYC's New School, offers some "backbone" credibility to a Clinton ticket via his status as a former Seal who wears the Medal of Honor.

I dunno, though. The article brushes by Kerrey's famous quote that [referring to Bill Clinton] "Clinton is an unusually good liar. Unusually good". To me, this seems to be an awfully wide gulf to bridge, and it only serves to remind the general election voter of the many Clinton scandals, and in particular, remind that voter of Hillary's connection to a number of them.
