Obama Veep will be...

[RecycleMichael]

I have said that I think it will be Evan Bayh from Indiana. I say this after talking to a very high up Obama official back in June who said he was the top choice.

Back in May I said I hope he picks Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius. She has a great bi-partisan approach and has fought for things close to me.

My friends want it to be Joe Biden. He is so prepared on international issues and would be a perfect campaigner to complement Obama.

I hear that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine is also a finalist for the job. He brings a crucial state into play.

Who do you think is the best choice for Obama?

TK not to be confused with SemGroup or Enron.

I'm still pulling for Powell.

Too much baggage there, I'm afraid.

Baggage? Well, McSame (R-Idiot) has more than the two combined.

Anyway, WaPo article:

Kaine in 'Serious' Talks With Obama

I hope Kaine is tha man.....ties to mid America through Kansas!

[waterboy]

Biden would be lowkey and good background support. Both O and Pops vp picks are more important than in the past. Both stand a good chance of not making it through a full term.

The more I talk with people the more fearful I am that we're just plain screwed. The guy killing Unitarians because they were too liberal may be the start of the harvest of the garden the ultra religious fanatics have planted.

I want him to pick Dennis Kucinich.

Well, the Governor of Kansas would probably have a little stronger ties...

Kaine would be fine with me...Obama can change his chant to "Yes, we Kaine"!

You want him to lose. Losers stick on each other......

[highroadtaker]

I think it'll be Kaine.

Oprah...

I'm sorry to say this but that picture they keep showing of him looks so funny.  

His hair reminds me of Dagwood Bumstead.   [8D]

It should be himself then he can wear two suits both of which will be empty....

[RecycleMichael]

I hope he picks the Veep before the convention...

Just for that, the devil's going with Biden. He's no empty suit.

Kaine may have been ruled out ..... and the longshot is the Penn. governor.

Burner, it's illogical to think Obama could pick himself.

[RecycleMichael]

It is down to three...

Bayh...
Biden...
Kaine...

Kaine is a great speaker and puts Virginia in play.

Bayh puts his state in play, is an OK speaker and would be applauded by the Hillary supporters.

Biden is the best known, brings foreign policy knowledge and is a great debater.

I guess the best choice for Obama would be Kaine. He is young, transformational with a conservative background. He is against the death penalty and abortion, but has carried out juries wishes and thinks that abortion doctors should not be prosecuted. He spent a year of his life as a missionary and sings in the choir in a mostly black inner city church. I like that he supports reasonable gun limits and speaks candidly about his emotions.
