obama VP pick to come this week?
It almost has to with the convention a week away. I no longer think it will be Bayh. I now think (and hope) it will be Biden. He would be excellent, even though he let's his mouth run a bit at times.
I do not like Obama's statement about looking to Nunn for advice. I don't particularly care for Nunn. While he is superb on foreign policy, his domestic policy isn't at all desirable. I hope Obama wasn't telegraphing Nunn as a pick. My top choice would have been Warner, but he withdrew his name in June. Edwards is clearly out. Bayh is good, but he isn't strong on national security and that may emerge as a bigger issue than the economy by November (Russia, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, China, etc). Webb also would have been good (he has questionable statements about women, but those were a long time ago and he appears to have changed and is great on national security). He also withdrew. Powell would be fantastic, but I don't think he is interested. Richardson is solid, but he says incredibly stupid things on occasion. I hope for Biden. |
Biden will be the man.

Wonder why Edwards' actions have doomed him? It didn't doom Clinton. |
Obama's advisers have been running around convincing CEOs he's pro-business. Obama-Bayh would mean he's serious.
Edwards on ticket would mean his entire economics team would resign. Goodness he's out of the picture. I'd say anybody who's publicly said anything bad about Walmart should not be considered. Chuck Joe biden out the window. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/17/wa...gewanted=print Since we're gonna win anyway, we have the luxury of focusing on governing. |

You now remind me when I worried that Reagan would lose to Carter and thereafter to Mondale. Obama wins by those sorts of margins. McCain may become this generation's Barry Goldwater. |
