Hello Team Obama,
I know that most of us have our ideas of the Dem Dream Team and Schweitzer is my first choice for VP.
Governor Schweitzer of Montana should be considered as a good running mate for Barack Obama. It would indeed increase the chances of at least 16 years of Dems in the Presidency.
Many times I have listened to Governor Schweitzer being interviewed and I like him as a possible running mate for Barack.
He would also fit in with Turning-the-Page on the Old Washington Politics and provide a solid boost Western Strategy.
Schweitzer is independent soul, funny, from an ordinary working background and has emphasized energy independency as way to promote development. He also lives a life that is not too different from Barack and most ordinary folks.
He is a strong advocate for ordinary working people and working across party lines.
Schweitzer is also strong on agriculture, the issue of food self-sufficiency, and community development
Most important of all to me, like Obama, Gov. Schweitzer is a leader with a global perspective ingrained in his DNA. Schweitzer has lived abroad (Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and in the Middle East Saudi Arabia - personally I am biased to Africa here) for long periods and would therefore appreciate how the rest of the world lives. Imagine also a Vice President who speaks fluent Arabic in addition to other languages!
Please Team Obama, give some serious thought to Obama/Schweitzer 08
Ps. I am sure that the first VP choice (the 82 year-old Ms Weiss from NC would approve of Obama/Schweitzer 08) since he is actively concerned with environment, agriculture and water and these are some of the issues Ms Weiss was concerned about. Remember Ms Weis?
