Greetings,
A lot of talk about VP going around.
I've supported Obama from the start. I hear the pundits talking about the ticket for VP. If push comes to shove the Obama HRC ticket, can and will only be viable with a lot of re-lensing and combined effort on the part of Obama and HRC. However, the scenario which this is feasible in my opinion is one where the Democratic party gets its TOTAL act together, generates a clear and visonary message, puts two highly qualified people who have put aside their differences for the sake of the country and are on their way to a great big change. This is somewhat of a fairytale, but a good story.
More realistically:
My preference would be that Edwards commits to VP spot.
My second preference is that Jim Webb of Virginia be the VP : http://webb.senate.gov/ He could go a long way in helping with the southern region Barrack is having trouble making headway yet he is truly an accomplished thinker and shares Obama's deep reflection on the nature of politics.
Others I've heard:
- Colin Powell: Trouble with the War issue. Would require some serious about facing by a very great candidate
- Governors: Rendell, Strickland, Sebelius, Schweitzer. Of the 4 I think Schweitzer is strongest VP total package. All are regional politicians that may help sway some votes in that region, but do not necessarily represent Obama change.
- Others to placate HRC fans. Just bad business/politics.
