VP Guesses

My Pics

McCain: Mitt...why simple 2 issues he lacks ..the Christian vote and the Economic Background...He gets help in. Though some Christians will be turned off by a Mormon...to them I good, I am glad they are pissed....I like Mitt in some ways, and seems like would be a good VP...I don't agree with him of course, but he does not seem sleezy and neoconism like the Bush Co Admin ...Would not make me vote for McCain, but does not make me more actively not want to see McCain win ( see picking Huckabee...who I would just hate as a pick)

Obama....My slightly Bias, but with good reason pick...Biden....What does Obama Lack...Foreign policy experience...who has some of the best at that? Hide..Who has been just dead on great at attacking McCain but not seeming like a dick doing it...Biden who is a friend of Mccain's, but knows how to attack him on Policy and not make it personal that can backfire. Labor...Very good labor backing from Baden...Respected on all sides, helps the moderate vote...and not the type of Liberal who the south Conservative vote would hate, but would I think still be able to Identify with a bit.
Also he is a White Male...that sadly helps.


As long as McCain does not pick someone pro abortion I think he is doing well with the Christian vote, especially after saturday nights event. But I think he should still pick Romney because he has what McCain needs a business mind. One thing I am sure about, if McCain picked that stupid huckabump, I would NOT vote for him even if my one single vote could effect the election. I really cant stand that snake.

I almost dont think that Obama will pick Biden for the reason people think he should pick him....Foreign policy experience. Obama seriously thinks he doesnt need it. I watched him in this interview where he was saying its funny people think I need to pick someone with Foreign policy experience but the funny thing is, this is where I feel most confidant. I have a hard time thinking he would pick Biden because he already has his own ideas on Foreign policy and might not want that type of advice.


He might even name the person tomorrow, I think that he should if he already knows, that will get the chatter off Saturday's event.

I really liked Powell, and still do. Its a shame he fell on the sword for Bush. But while he has kept largely quiet since leaving SecState, it is quite apparent he got shafted. ~ Bunz

Absolutely true.

And I'll bet his right leanings have softened even more since he became the fall-guy for BigOil..

And because of all the foregoing, I think he would make an excellent candidate for VP. I don't know why you rule that out? Do you have some inside info that Powell would refuse to run with Dumb or Dumber?

Maybe that's just it...he doesn't want to be seen in the company of fools..

He also knows though that while he does have experiance ( more then Bush did realy) it is not viewed that way, and Biden is heavy hitter on that, with just about no downside I can see...Also there policy ideas are very much in line with each other.

Dont forget what happened with Clark as well though, he tried to make a run and it fell apart...Politics is not the same, and its hard to go from non poliitical poistions to the 2nd highest in the land overnight.
 
The news said today that Biden said he is not the one, and was sort of snappy about it.

So.... seems to me that he isnt the one. Also the news said Obama will tell everyone on Saturday. Odd time if you want a bounce


The only one I really really really dont want him to pick is Richardson
 
Michael Moore's dream team... I am on his email list because I hate his guts and you need to keep your enemy's closer.. he sent out an email titled Caroline : pull a Cheney! An open letter to Caroline Kennedy (head of the Obama VP search team)

Dear Caroline,

We've never met, so I hope you don't find this letter too presumptuous or inappropriate. As its contents involve the public's business, I am sending this to you via the public on the Internet. I knew your brother John. He was a great guy, and I know he would've had a ball during this thrilling and historic election year. We all miss him dearly.

Barack Obama selected you to head up his search for a vice presidential candidate. It appears we may be just days (hours?) away from learning who that choice will be.

The media is reporting that Senator Obama has narrowed his alternatives to three men: Joe Biden, Evan Bayh and Tim Kaine. They're all decent fellows, but they are far from the core of what the Obama campaign has been about: Change. Real change. Out with the old. And don't invade countries that pose no threat to us.

Senators Biden and Bayh voted for that invasion and that war, the war Barack ran against, the war Barack reminded us was the big difference between him and Senator Clinton because she voted for the war and he spoke out against it while running for Senate (a brave and bold thing to do back in 2002).

For Obama to place either of these senators on the ticket would be a huge blow to the millions that chose him in the primaries over Hillary. He will undercut one of the strongest advantages he has over the Hundred-Year War senator, Mr. McCain. By anointing a VP who did what McCain did in throwing us into this war, Mr. Obama will lose the moral high ground in the debates.

As for Governor Kaine of Virginia, his big problem is, well, Obama's big problem -- who is he? The toughest thing Barack has had to overcome -- and it will continue to be his biggest obstacle -- is that too many of the voters simply don't know him well enough to vote for him. The fact that Obama is new to the scene is both one of his most attractive qualities AND his biggest drawback. Too many Americans, who on the surface seem to like Barack Obama, just don't feel comfortable voting for someone who hasn't been on the national scene very long. It's a comfort level thing, and it may be just what keeps Obama from winning in November ("I'd rather vote for the devil I know than the devil I don't know").

What Obama needs is a vice presidential candidate who is NOT a professional politician, but someone who is well-known and beloved by people across the political spectrum; someone who, like Obama, spoke out against the war; someone who has a good and generous heart, who will be cheered by the rest of the world; someone whom we've known and loved and admired all our lives and who has dedicated her life to public service and to the greater good for all.

That person, Caroline, is you.

I cannot think of a more winning ticket than one that reads: "OBAMA-KENNEDY."

Caroline, I know that nominating yourself is the furthest idea from your mind and not consistent with who you are, but there would be some poetic justice to such an action. Just think, eight years after the last head of a vice presidential search team looked far and wide for a VP -- and then picked himself (a move topped only by his hubris to then lead the country to near ruin while in office) -- along comes Caroline Kennedy to return the favor with far different results, a vice president who helps restore America to its goodness and greatness.

Caroline, you are one of the most beloved and respected women in this country, and you have been so admired throughout your life. You chose a life outside of politics, to work for charities and schools, to write and lecture, to raise a wonderful family. But you did not choose to lead a private life. You have traveled the world and met with its leaders, giving you much experience on the world stage, a stage you have been on since you were a little girl.

The nation has, remarkably (considering our fascination with celebrity), left you alone and let you live your life in peace. (It's like, long ago, we all collectively agreed that, with her father tragically gone, a man who died because he wanted to serve his country, we would look out for her, we would wish for her to be happy and well, and we would have her back. But we would let her be.)

Now, I am breaking this unwritten code and asking you to come forward and help us in our hour of need. So many families are hurting, losing their homes, going bankrupt with health care bills, seeing their public schools in shambles and living with this war without end. This is a historic year for women, from Hillary's candidacy to the numerous women running for the House and Senate. This is the year that a woman should be on the Democratic ticket. This is the year that both names on that ticket should be people OUTSIDE the party machine. This is the year millions of independents and, yes, millions of Republicans are looking for something new and fresh and bold (and you are the Kennedy Republicans would vote for!).

This is the moment, Caroline. Seize it! And Barack, if you're reading this, you probably know that she is far too humble and decent to nominate herself. So step up and surprise us again. Step up and be different than every politician we have witnessed in our lifetime. Keep the passion burning amongst the young people and others who have been energized by your unexpected, unpredicted, against-all-odds candidacy that has ignited and inspired a nation. Do it for all those reasons. Make Caroline Kennedy your VP. "Obama-Kennedy." Wow, does that sound so cool.

Caroline, thanks for letting me intrude on your life. How wonderful it will be to have a vice president who will respect the Constitution, who will support (instead of control) her president, who will never let her staff out a CIA agent, and who will never tell her country that she is "currently residing in an undisclosed location."

Say it one more time: "OBAMA-KENNEDY." A move like that might send a message to the country that the Democrats would actually like to win an election for once.


I love the way he ended it, dems would actually like to win an election for once :)

how funny, how sad, how true. I also agree with him that Obamas words are just that, just words.... if he picks a same old same old for a vp.

And Hillary cant get mad at him if he picks her because he can say she isnt a party hack and she never voted for the war :)
 
I hope Obama picks Biden.

I hope McCain picks Lieberman, although I wouldn't vote for McCain no matter who he picks. I just think Lieberman will sink any chance he has of winning.

I've always liked Joe Biden a lot. He doesn't ad any state the Dems won't already take but he brings that big time foreign policy cred to the ticket and he's an in the oppositions face talker ... something very good in a VP.

Plus he carries himself a lot younger than he is. The ticket would still feel fresh.


On Lieberman I yelled the same thing upstairs when I heard them talking about on TV. Yeah pick him PLEASE pick him!!! :)

Biden said he wasnt the one picked.

Do you think that McCain or anybody even has a chance against "THE ONE" from a "followers" point of view?


I wish Obama would take John Freaking Kerry for his running mate. Though I think his chances are lookin slimmer and slimmer, that would be the death pick :)
