Beginning a climb as steep as some of the streets in his hometown, former San Francisco Supervisor Matt Gonzalez signed on Thursday as running mate in Independent Ralph Nader's mid-stream - and many say, quixotic - bid for the White House. [article]
Although I know nothing about Matt Gonzalez, personally, I think this was a good move. I, for one, would like to know who the candidates would have for their running mate. Yeah, I know, the media says we don't vote based on the vice presidential candidate; we vote for the presidential candidate.
While that may be true having this information might make a difference in who becomes the party nominee. It might also tell us what kind of "deal" were made during the campaign process. If one of those candidates that dropped out of the race becomes the vice presidential pick we have the right to know what kind of deal was made to get that person to accept and "endorse" the presidential candidate. We all know that "deals" is how Washington works so why not make this "deal" now.
