My name is Barack Obama - tell me why I should pick YOU as my VP running mate

[LynneSin]

I figured it's time to get all interest parties out there and listed and I'm sure some of you DUers would love to be VP. So post here why I should pick you!

[flvegan]

1. Because it's time to finally put a white man in the VP seat.

[MrCoffee]

2. Because I'm crazier than Lee Mercer Jr.

but still saner than Dick Cheney.

[LeftyMom]

3. I can distract the press with scandal. nt

[Chan790]

4. I represent a broad-base of constituencies.

Perverts
College graduates
Professional school graduates
MENSA members
Writers
Bondage Practitioners
People who are considering a career as a sex worker.
Cat-lovers
People who would keep a goat for a pet
New Englanders
Service Workers
Punks
Atheists
Vegetarians
Food-service workers
Numismatists
Cheese Addicts
People who are frequently mistaken for Asian on anonymous message boards
Environmentally-conscious
The extremely-oppressed white male (I'm kidding.)

[cynatnite]

5. Because I don't know any oil execs n/t

[taterguy]

6. No skeletons in my closet

You'd never have to worry about embarrassing photos of me showing up on the Internet.

I've never done anything in my life that would cause controversy or strife for the campaign.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. i am fabulous.

[Deep13]

28. Yes, but the VP can't be more fabulous than the POTUS.

Sorry. :D

[madinmaryland]

8. ME. BECAUSE I KNOW HOW MUCH A BRAZILION IS!!1!!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

9. Because

I wont leave the VP mansion all stinky and dark like Cheney. I also will redecorate with elan.

[redwitch]

12. Did you mean elad?

I didn't know he was a decorator.

I think it's great that you guys would clear up the dark and stinky! :hug:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

13. Nope

elan'

"with style"

It's french.

I am so oo-la-la

[redwitch]

16. Quelle fromage!

Whatever was I thinking monsewer? :-)


I still like the image of you and elad cleanin' up the dark and stinky. Could be a magnifique special on HGTV.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

10. One less middle-aged slacker on unemployment...

Plus I'll spring for pizza every now and then.

[LynneSin]

18. You know you almost had it but damnit - I need beer too

:grr:

[redwitch]

11. Because I am a redhead.

A true minority. We represent only 7% of the population and we need to be represented at long last. It is time to give a redhead a shot at the White House!


P.S. I do not include "dyed" hair people in the 7%. I mean really. :eyes:

[Chan790]

15. Someone told me that redheads will be extinct by 2200.

Strange. Apparently the number of redheads born has been dropping for centuries.

[redwitch]

19. I am pretty sure I will be extinct by then.

:-)

[NJmaverick]

14. If I were your VP, you wouldn't have to worry about being assassinated

[Left Is Write]

17. I can't do that.

Mainly because I don't think you should pick me.

[TZ]

20. Because I am much more fun

then any old politician! Pick me and it would be one big party (I'd say it would be great to have a pev in the White House, but thats obviously already happened):)

[madinmaryland]

21. Barack is a Bears fan. Sorry, a Redskins fan is not allowed.

Bears - 73, Redskins - 0

:rofl:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Championship_Game,_1940

:hi:

[TZ]

22. PFFT

You know, I don't even have to click the Wiki link to know about that game, sadly....:)
We have the distinction of holding both the worst loss in a championship game AND being the losers that made the Miami undefeated season...

[madinmaryland]

23. At least they weren't the ones that broke Miami's winless season.

Sorry Ravens!!!!

[LynneSin]

24. Um sorry, Barack is an Eagles fan now

And we definately do NOT want no stinking Redskin fan as my VP. I mean come on, it's just DC - I can win this election without their 3 measily electorial votes!

[madinmaryland]

25. How many electoral votes does Delaware have????

And he's NOT an Eaglet fan! :grr:

[LynneSin]

27. Wow - last I heard Philadelphia was in Pennsylvania

Good, I can scratch your dumbass off my VP list for not knowing where Philadelphia is located

:hide:

[madinmaryland]

30. Nice post, Kitler. Delaware is a suburb of Philadelphia!

:rofl:

[TZ]

29. Yes you can...

But if you put an obnoxious Eagle fan on the ticket do you really think you can live in DC after the election?!:P

[LynneSin]

31. Didn't you hear - we're going to move the capital back to it's original home

:woohoo:

[Deep13]

26. I don't recall sending a resume.

I'm not qualified to run the country, although that's not stopping Obama.

If I were qualified and if I wanted to destroy my life in politics, my reason would be this. I have a completely different perspective than he does and I would be useful in preventing the kind of group-think that got Bush into trouble.

[KamaAina]

32. Because, all evidence to the contrary, I'm really a New Yorker

and, if selected, will hurry back there and change my voter registration, just like Cheney. :P

edit: spacing

[Tommy_Carcetti]

33. Because I know you are secretly LynneSin, Senator Obama. And I can blackmail you. nt

[LynneSin]

34. You dissed my Sex and the City threads and everyone knows that Barack is a SATC fan

so THERE!
