1. Of course they'll ask him now that it's been announced

he's heading to Iraq with Obama. :eyes:

I'm not sure who would really want that position unless they have ambitions of taking over the Presidency after Obama's eight years.

I think when we find out who Obama DOES choose, we'll all be blown away. Maybe even someone the "experts" haven't even given much credence to.

I can hardly wait!

2. What fucking douchebag would ask him? n/t

[karynnj]

15. At least one NYT reporter seemed to be pushing him.

He does have the military experience and other accomplishments, I know that saying he is not charismatic is an understatement, but Obama doesn't need that.

3. Geez, they're dropping like flies...

Warner, Webb, Reed.... who did I forget?

[newmajority]

4. Maybe they know what some on this board choose to ignore?

Two senators on this ticket = pResident McLoon.

[emilyg]

5. That was my reaction.

What's going on?

[NattPang]

6. I'm surprised!

Are you very concerned?

[emilyg]

10. Nope.

[blonndee]

11. I'm as "surprised" as you are.

[bunnies]

12. Nobody wants to be Obamas VP!!11!! OH NOES!!!!11!!!

Something MUST be wrong with Obama!!1! *faux hand wringing goes here*. Lets rip him apart until we figure out why nobody wants him! AHHHHHH! Only Hillary can save us now!11!! Go McCain!1!!1

:rofl: :hi:

14. I think what they know is the VP has aleady been picked

and they're not it.

[Ioo]

7. God I hoped no one asked him... he would SUCK...

[Alexander]

9. Jack Reed? From Rhode Island? Why?

Are you confusing him with Harry Reid?

[Alexander]

8. I really, really, really hope it's Feingold. With all these choices out, there's still hope.

[awoke_in_2003]

16. No.

We need Feingold in the Senate- he is one of the few voices of reason there. Plus, we don't know who he would be replaced with.

[TwilightGardener]

13. Shit. I believe him, too. He's got a young family, maybe he doesn't

want the scrutiny that the Obamas face. He'd be my number one pick, though. Not the best-looking guy, nor the most charismatic, but smart and competent.

[emilyg]

18. I did some reading on him.

Pretty decent, smart guy.

[TwilightGardener]

19. Yep--and very well-qualified. Too bad.

[cbc5g]

17. I'm thinking it will be a state governor like Kaine, Ritter or Schweitzer

[Laelth]

20. Good. n/t

21. Exactly what I was thinking !!! ........... GOOD !!!!
