Who is likely to be Obama's VP

[aaroh]

out of these amigos? Keep in mind...pick the one Obama is likely to choose and not the one you would choose.

[newmajority]

1. Richardson

I'm telling you, this is the ticket.

[Alexander]

4. I'm thinking Richardson will probably be Obama's pick.

I'd prefer Feingold, Sebelius or Clark, but who knows - it could be someone we never thought of.

[RichGirl]

6. Obama already.....

...has the Hispanic vote wrapped up. Richardson has a past that will bite him in the butt. We don't need that.

[Motown_Johnny]

10. He has the most impressive resume of any other potential VP... he is still short list

His past???

What? That one quote about being scouted for major league baseball?

[Mme. Defarge]

16. Agreed!

And, yes, he should keep the beard.

[SmileyRose]

2. I hope it's not anyone in the Senate unless it's a secure Dem seat.

I have this insane fantasy of 60 Dems in the Senate.

[flpoljunkie]

5. Agreed, SmileyRose.

[MercutioATC]

3. I'm still pulling for Brian Schweitzer.

He's a real longshot, but I think he'd be the best choice.

[AlinPA]

9. Yep. We would win MT, SD, ND, IN, OH, NV, NM, AZ.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

14. I think I'm stalking you with agreement.

:P

I think he helps alot in the Mountain west. I also think he's attractive to rural white males in particular. Plus, his story is a good one to tell, which will grab the media's attention.

7. Bill Richardson

[AlinPA]

8. Schweitzer.

[LiberalFighter]

11. Throw all of the Senators and any other Congress member off the list.

[disndat]

12. John Edwards

because he is closest to Obama's political outlook. Richardson,second, because he came out early for Obama and tipped the scale from H.C. and took so much flack from the Clinton people for doing so. Obama is so far ahead of McCain he doesn't have to consider the usual 'balance the ticket' rule.

[newmajority]

13. Edwards - Great as Attorney General. Adds nothing as VP.

I'm looking forward to watching him rip up the corporate media.

[aaroh]

20. Edwards and that hotel incident is a lot of baggage to carry.

[salguine]

15. Like anybody knows. Why continue to play these ridiculous conjecture games?

[tokenlib]

17. Schweitzer.....Biden has bank and lender millstone around his neck

Obama has been too vocal about bank and lender abuses and the mistake Hillary and McCain made supporting bankruptcy reform. Sorry Biden fans--

But at this point, I'd put money on Kaine...

[SoxFan]

19. Schweitzer played footsie with Mitt Romney

He said that he could endorse Romney if he were the GOP nominee. If Evan Bayh or Harold Ford said anything remotely close to that, you'd be apoplectic, so Schweitzer doesn't deserve a free pass.

Not going to happen.

[Mark E. Smith]

18. Clark

Trust me.
