Two words…..Wesley Clark…he;s a clintonista, who is a General for NATO from a Southern Sate, so he balances the ticket nicely. Plus he’s an old white guy so that should take care of the Appalachin faction (who will lose the vote anyway.)

Obama has decided to set up a war room to battle the bloggers, will this hurt him in the long haul? I can not see us bloggers taking this to lightly! What do you think?

How about George Lopez?

My pick is Bill Richardson – not for any particular reason other than him seeming likable.

More logically, Sebelius or Clinton would bring back the women voters – but I don’t think we should put a female in just to make people happy if she’s not the right person for the job. (And I don’t fully trust Clinton, even though she finally conceded.)

I hear Webb and Clark thrown around a lot for military experience. One of them might be good.

I like Edwards but he says he’s not interested in VP. (He wants to be attorney general or something.)

Whoever Barack chooses, I’m sure will be the right person though. I trust his judgment or I wouldn’t have voted for him

LOL. Thanks A Day…

Great Points! I certainly never said the list was “good,” just the candidates he may likely choose from (based on his past comments)!

We will know pretty soon…

Gore would never accept a vice position. Edwards failed to bring NC to the Dem side of the ledger in 2004, and has been rejected twice as a presidential primary contender – he won’t be picked. Joe Biden has committed major plagiarism in speeches, so he probably won’t be the picked one because that’s so easy to spin into a larger question about his integrity as a whole. Chris Dodd doesn’t have nearly enough visibility. As for Feingold and Webb, they are too powerful within the senate to bring them into the ticket, especially Webb, as he hails from what has historically been a red state.

Looking at your list, the only legit contenders I see are Sebelius and Richardson, although Richardson might be seen as a liability due to being Latino at a time when a lot of people keep screaming about immigration reform (never mind the fact that he is an American citizen – believe me, I live in a red state eight months out of the year, and he’s just viewed as ‘another Mexican’ despite the obvious contrary facts).

I’ll be honest, your list really isn’t good at all.

Good Point Shirley, it seems that Kathleen’s name is coming up more and more. Certainly one to watch!

Thanks for the comment!

Kathleen Sebelius is a very popular governor. A unique team would be forged should be pick her.

Gore was just in SF. Don’t think he will be interested. I think Edwards will be the pick.

Unfortunately, I think Bob Hope died in July of 2003…
