The Veepstakes Begin in Earnest for Obama

kennethinthe212 posted this picture of the current popular contenders to be Barack Obama's running mate. They are:
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN)
Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE)
NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg
Ret. Gen. Wesley Clark
Sen Hillary Clinton (D-NY)
Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT)
Former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC)
Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE)
Gov. Tim Kaine (D-VA)
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO)
Gov. Janet Napolitano (D-AZ)
Former Sen. Sam Nunn (D-GA)
Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM)
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D-KS)
Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA)

Mad Professah is surprised to not see our favorite, Gov. Ted Strickland (D-OH) on the list, or Markos Zuniga's fave, Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D-MT). I think a Governor should have an edge over a current Senator.

I only add, he should not take anyone one loyal to HRC, as they are as much of a problem as she is.

How about Senator Patty Murray?

I want Gore. Gore doesn't want it, but if Barack can convince Gore this is the best way to serve his country once more at this time, Obama/Gore would be unstoppable.

Two statesman with huge respect around the world leading our nation.

I'm a Janet Napolitano fan. Big fan. I also think Washington rep Adam Smith is a terrific candidate, but no one is talking about him. Have you ever seen him push back against bullshit? He's a pit bull.

I don't think he should pick another sitting senator, no matter their credentials. We need all our seats to get progressive legislation passed.

Henry Ford Jr. could be a great VP
