Will Obama do better to choose a female VP?

[Labors of Hercules]

Knowing it probably wouldn't be Clinton, who would be his best choice in a strong Woman to lead as our Vice President?

[candice]

1. Hillary could choose Richardson...I have no idea who can share

...the stage with Obama. He comes across as a little arrogant.

[DrFunkenstein]

4. Yes, Building Bridges As Arrogance

Or is it the mere fact that he doesn't bow at the ankles to Hillary's inevitable coronation?

That said, my guesses for an Obama VP would be Jim Webb or Mike Bloomberg.

2. I suspect it will be a white guy.

I'm guessing it will be easier to sell to the independents.

3. Janet Napolitano or Kathleen Sebelius.

6. Please God, no! Not Kathleen Sebelius........

She's so boring and stiff!

She's a good Governor, though. Gov. Sebelius has turned Kansas blue. Or, at least purple.

[totodeinhere]

9. So you oppose her for such flippant reasons?

What about policy issues? Are her mannerisms more important than what policies she favors?

[Bucky]

15. In an election? Yes.

This will be a close election. The ability to wow an audience is a major consideration. I've always admired Sebelius from what I've read about her. But when she delivered the Dem response to Bush's final "Lies about the State of the Union" address, I was stunned by how boring a presentation she makes. Maybe that cuts it in Kansas, but Dems need a veep candidate who won't put the rust belt swing states to sleep.

Napolitano is a much better choice.

5. Both will run with a white male.

To increase the confidence factor for the uncertain voter.

No one will want McCain to be the only white male in the race.

[Bucky]

17. Rock on! Let's hear it for the white doodz!!

(we do rock, you know)

[calimary]

7. It certainly would be one way to unite our party - unite them on the ticket.

I wouldn't care WHO was on top of the ticket. Wouldn't make a bit of difference to me. EITHER WAY WE WIN!!!

I like them both, STILL. And it was DAMNED HARD to decide who'd get my vote yesterday.

8. Obama should choose the best qualified regardless of gender.

[State the Obvious]

10. Maybe Obama could appoint 2-3 female SC Justices! nt

[Thrill]

11. Obama/Webb or Obama/Warner

[roguevalley]

12. I hope it isn't some chinless suit like Evan Bayh or some other

walk on. I would like John Edwards.

[donheld]

13. BARBARA BOXER

[Labors of Hercules]

16. Sproing!

I love her!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

19. Even the dead Republicans

would claw their way out of their graves to vote against Obama/Boxer.

:rofl:

There are plenty of interesting choices for veep. Edwards? Gravel? Richardson?

[blogslut]

14. I think he should choose that fellow in your signature

Hillary will make an excellent Attorney General.

18. How bout Elizabeth?

OOOOOHHHH YEAH!
