Kerry Announces Running Mate Choice by Brooks Kraft

Democratic presidential nominee Senator John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) addresses the 47th Quadrennial General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. After months of speculation about who Kerry would pick as his running mate against President George W. Bush in November's presidential election, the Massachusett's senator announced earlier July 6, 2004 that Senator John Edwards (D-North Carolina), 51, would join his ticket.
