I hope it's John Edwards. He did a bang-up job last time around!

There's always Marion Berry, William "Cold Cash" Jefferson, Ray Nagin, Joe Biden, Jon Corzine, and Gavin Newsom.

An embarassment of riches.

Richardson - Maybe the Kansas gov. John Edwards and Hilary Clinton are not in the running.

Richardson makes a lot of sense if we are talking about a co-presidency like the last couple of go-rounds. Biden just isn't executive material -- maybe put him in State if Obama gets elected. There has been talk about trying to get someone who would help Obama carry a state, but does that ever really work?

Biden at State? :lmao Couldn't wait to see how he stereotypes other Diplomats. That'd be fuckin' hilarious.

I like Cynthia McKinney for veep. She'd be a good choice. It would allow St. Barack to bring the race question to the table, once and for all.

If he wants the white Catholic vote, there's former Louisiana Gubner Katherine Babineaux Blanco. She did a bang-up job post-Katrina.

And what about Dick Durbin? He'd be great at shoring up the blue-collar, "patriot" vote.

Richardson makes the most sense to me, but... I don't know how to think like the Anti-American party does.

If the Golden Child wants to truly get us in step with the rest of the world ... he can bring in Kofi Annan. He's not doing anything right now.

And why not Ayers? That's a team that would bring CHANGE!

^The sooner this idiot realizes that Senator Jim Webb isn't his or anyone else's governor, the better his life will be.

Excellent choices. Might suggest also the Mayor of New
Orleans, the Chocolate city, School Bus Nagin.

My mayor, Ray Nagin, would make an awesome choice for Obama's ticket. That would wrap up the black vote and put racial issues front and center this fall.

I hope that he picks Gov Sebelius.

She's progressive.

She's from a red state.

She has executive governing experience.


Richardson has an incredible resume. So, he would have to be up there.


I also really like McCaskill, but they say two senators is a bad ticket. Hard enough for a senator to win the presidency.

Napolitano would be very good.

Biden is too unpredictable. Besides he actually likes high stakes tests as measure of academic achievement.


HRC is opposite of change and is bought and paid for by lobbyists.

Hey bombing Iran would also bring change!

That's your guy, Bob Dole redux!

Good luck running on unpopular wars with a 71 year old war monger.

Bush with same policies has about 27 % approval rating.

Can McSame beat that ?

I don't know.

You guys better hope that they don't campaign in the same state at the same time.

Obama is far more compelling.

Cindy Sheehan? She's running for Congress. She'd make a great running mate, and would certainly serve as an expression of his wish for an immediate pullout from Iraq.

Only in my imagination. But what if she beats Ms. America. Nancy Pelosi. Wow!.

I still would like to see John Edwards again. He sticks up for the little guy, and brings Southern charm to the ticket. Surely, he'll help in the south?

But Biden or Daschle would work for me, as well. Or Shumer!

And Barrack Obama has Hope for mermaids.

btw, if Hillary seats florida and michigan at the convention, will Obama counter by adding 7 extra imaginary states to the convention?
