US Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) may be under consideration for the vice-presidential slot under John Kerry, reports the Associated Press. Lewis joins a list of prospective candidates that includes Richard Gephardt and John Edwards.
Lewis would be an interesting choice. He is a hero of the civil rights movement and a well respected member of Congress. As an African-American, his spot on the ticket would be historic and energize Democrats. I could get pretty excited about a Kerry-Lewis ticket.
