Jim Webb had problems with hitting on women, so he may want to prevent Obama from having to deal with that.  I don't think he was ever top pick though.

Wes Clark should remain on the list.  

I heard another name bandied about recently, but can't remember who it was.

Since you're a former Edwards and Obama supporter who said he would never vote for McCain this hatred for the Dems is mighty confusing.

For the VP question, I still like Clark, and (I know it's the longest shot of all time) but Tim brought up Wexler awhile ago and seeing him on shows pimping his book recently has me pretty well sold.

Physician, health care reform movement leader, former two-term Oregon governor.  Has a record of pragmatic but progressive governance.  In his gubernatorial campaigns, he even got lots of votes in Eastern Oregon (redneck rancher country), even though he's a progressive.  That tells me he'd appeal to folks in other western states including Nevada and Colorado.

there's lots of choices that aren't on your list...and I also disagree, Wesley Sr. should be in the running, the mini-tempest will be long forgotten, such is the short attention span of The Stupid Tawking Heads...

What about McCain, Bobo, huh?  I'm real worried about him and who he's gonna choose for VEEP, tawk about a drying up well, anybody McCain picks will make some part of the Repugs unhappy....Crist (is he gay?), Jindahl (Devil, BE GONE!), whats his name is pro-choice, etc. etc. etc.

So many other repugs have ethics problems and lots of Repug Senator seats are threatened....if I were the Repugs that would worry me alot!!! 

No worries about drying wells, climb on a float and soak in the sun...green grass and high tides forever and all that

your liquor cabinet will dry up first.

And to answer your question, every election cycle I can remember,  for both parties. So, nice try, thanks for playing!

Come again when you've got something (other than a hangover).

Politically, Kerry brings Obama nothing.  The Dems are going to win MA regardless.  And most of the country had enough of Kerry after 2004. 

Politically, the best choice is Wesley Clark - although it now appears Obama doesn't have the balls to back up Wes' statements on McCain.  So he's probably out.  I always liked Feingold, but that would be too leftist for Obama.  So if I had to predict, I say he take the woman from Kansas.

For a unique and surprising bi-partisan VP pick, Obama could place the call to the (in many ways) former Senator Jesse Helms, not only for contrast but because he would be a good silent partner and, despite his deficiencies, would still be a better VP than Cheney. If Jesse the Body doesn't answer, Obama should shock the McCain Media nannies and ninnies and choose straight-talking General Wes Clark, who is a hero in real life as well as is a real war hero, for his wartime military command experience and for having the guts to say that the imp-hero mccain has no clothes.

Of course, McCain might then counter bi-partisanwise by picking beloved, former Senator Paul Wellstone, who despite his long absence, would still have a far more exciting presence and warmer personality than either McCain, Pawlenty, Romney, or most of the other Pubelickin possibilities.
