Re: Top 10 Most Likely Obama VP's.
by nazcalito

I don't even know who most of them are. Bayh? I don't THINK so. Feinstein? You gotta be KIDDIN' me -- I would rather have ten Hillaries as VP.

Why is it that you have Hillary allies as possibles but don't even mention Edwards -- is not endorsing anyone somehow worse than campaigning for Hillary?

Why these dull people to run with a cool character like Obama? Here's my candidates for VP.

1. Oprah! true, there is no balance and she was in the Reverend Wright's church too, but she would win all the daytime soccer mom suburban housewives' vote -- just a huge section of the population.

2. Caroline Kennedy! It would be a direct link to Camelot, but maybe you need someone from a swing area...

3. Elizabeth Edwards?? Sort of like Oprah combined with John Edwards, and she's acceptable to Hillary, so they say. Actually, EE is kind of a serious choice. but what about her illness? And John would be awfully embarrassed they passed over him.. Hmm...

4. Arianna Huffington!!! Yeah! O'Reilly and Hannity would take it as a personal insult! but she can't -- she's a naturalized Greek, isn't she -- not a natural born citizen. Oh well.

5. Someone from Hollywood -- Julia Roberts comes to mind, but only if she played the Erin Brockovich role exclusively, complete with swear words -- it would win the trailer park crowd, but is she even a Democrat?

6. I really would have picked former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, a really personable character, and from the Deep South, except he's out on bail and probably can't leave the Southern District of Alabama -- makes it kind of hard to campaign...
