Tim Kaine is WEBB without the fighting SPIRIT or HAGEL without the GRAVITAS
Edited on Tue Jul-29-08 09:49 PM by Sensitivity
You could not deal with Webb and you vetoed Hagel. What is Obama to do.

YOU ASKED FOR IT. NOW IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WILL GET IT. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM???

I accept the choice of the nominee. But it doesn't look like the lobby groups who have been pushing against a National Security choice give him much to choose from.

Gov. Kaine does seem to have many attractive qualities and perspectives, especially in areas of family values and economic justice, that would make him a good partner for Obama.

If Obama chooses him there are probably good reasons why he was the best of the options left on the table.

3. I have to say that I trust Obama to make the best choice for himself for VP.
I think he has proven by this point that he knows what he is doing. No matter what, you cannot please everybody, especially Democrats.

Those are some pretty damning facts about Hagel.

Anybody who wants that guy a heartbeat away from the presidency is either insane, a Republican, or a DINO.

17. I have it on very reliable sources that Obama's veep selection will be
Don Blake.

He's a physician. He's a white guy. He loves his sweetheart, Jane, despite his Dad's objections.
