Jack Reed's Sherman statement

From NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli
"I am interested in serving in the United States Senate and that interest trumps any consideration of serving as a vice president," Rhode Island Democrat Reed said in an interview with the Providence Journal this afternoon.

Reed was asked: "If you were offered this position you would decline, is that correct?"

"Yeah," he answered, "but I frankly I don't expect to be offered the position."

1. Damn. Well..I'm fucking running out of ideas, people. It's Biden now, or...

who the fuck else?

[Whisp]

10. I have a feeling we have been waaaaay off base with all the guesses.

it'll be a big surprise.
and it will be a perfect pick.

That's the way Obama works.

[ruggerson]

12. He'll pick God

and, after sleeping on it, she'll accept.

[sniffa]

16. My guess is Jesus. He was an early backer.

2. Well, another one off the list?

Who's left?

[jefferson_dem]

4. It's down to Bayh, Biden, and Kaine.

...That's my prediction anyway.

[TwilightGardener]

9. Bayh--Iraqi Liberation guy. Oh boy, will the GOPers have a field day with that.

Biden and Kaine, I guess. I'm frightened that Obama's choices have dwindled so greatly.

[11cents]

18. They haven't.

His choices among media-annointed possibilities have dwindled.

[dansolo]

21. Schweitzer, Kaine, and Graham

Those are my choices.

[tekisui]

3. It'll be a guvner.

[gateley]

8. Schweitzer! nt

[AlinPA]

11. Yes. One of my favorites.

[gateley]

13. Mine, too, but I don't think it'll be him, for some reason. :-( nt

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

14. I think he's a dark horse. He's an unknown to the country, but his story is a good one.

There has been zero talk about him by the MSM. Something tells me Obama will surprise us, but who knows.

[hvn_nbr_2]

17. Schweitzer or Sibelius both seem like possibilities to me

But Whisp (post #10) may be right--a big surprise that turns out to be perfect. VP picks are frequently surprises whenever they're not one of the losing presidential candidates.

Biden would be a good choice but I think he'd rather continue (and be more valuable) as chair of Foreign Relations Committee.

[tekisui]

20. I would be very happy with him.

:thumbsup:

[Blondiegrrl]

22. Schweitzer rocks. I could see him as president some day.

I like Biden too.

[Avalux]

5. Have we considered Robert Wexler?

I love his style. Don't know much about him tho.

[gateley]

7. I wonder why his name hasn't been mentioned, too -- I love him. nt

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

15. Wexler would interesting. Could he tip FL? I'm wondering about Rendell.

Holding PA and MI and getting OH might be the play. It's defensive and old school, but I think it's a strategy that would work.

[monmouth]

6. And I have a crush on Richardson....sorry...n/t

[Alexander]

19. My guess is Obama has already picked his VP, and Reed knows who it is.

I'm guessing Kaine, Richardson or Sebelius.

But I'd really, really like Feingold.

[AnnieBW]

23. Don Siegelman!

He's a former governor, and the poster boy for the excesses of the * Administration.

[windbreeze]

24. WOW...wouldn't that be someone to set everyone on their heels??? n/t
