Chris Dodd is the safe choice for VP ...
Dodd won't wow anyone, but if we get to a point where it seems like everyone Obama vets has problems, then I expect Dodd will be the guy left standing at the end of the day. He's very solid and is qualified to be president himself.

2. I would not be at all adverse to that. In fact, I'd be thrilled except for Dodd's age.
Obama/Dodd sounds like a dog-sled race.

14. He's only 64. What's too old? or too young, for that matter?

7. Ct is already "Blue"
Obama needs help with other States so I doubt this would work. Dodd's my Senator and a good foil against Joe. I like him right where he is.

13. NO! Not two Senators on one ticket. People distrust the Beltway
and Obama will need a strong majority of DEMS on the Hill if he is to get anything accomplished.

Gotta have someone from outside the Beltway; someone with executive experience. Would be a big help to have a westerner. Go with a governor from west of Kansas City.

NO MORE SENATORS. Too much 'same ol same ol' if we lean to heavily on those along the Beltway.
