Obama Wins Nomination

So what now? Who’s going to be his VP?

I don’t think it will be Hillary. Even though that is what the Clintons will try to get next, [Update: They’re already trying] Word to Obama: Think LBJ to Kennedy. How’d that work again?

Edwards? He brings nothing to the table. He couldn’t even carry his own state.

Gore? Nope. he won’t be anyone’s second fiddle.

Richardson? Possibly and likely.

John Kerry. Could be. If he would be wiling to do that. I don’t think so.

Who do you think might get the VP slot? I think he needs a southerner. Or some like Richardson who brings the west and Hispanics.

He could surprise us all.

UPDATE: Jimmah Carter has some good advice for Obama.

Richardson would be a great choice for the reasons you state above, but mostly cuz I actually like the guy. Kerry, not so much. Gore. No. And Hillary would drive me to McCain (I’m currently leaning strongly towards Obama).

If he were interested, Gov. Mike Easley (D-NC) would probably make a good choice, and would probably carry North Carolina, a first for the Democrats since 1976.  That said, I doubt Gov. Easley is interested.

Obama would be smart to get Richardson. But he may have someone else in mind.

Brin suggested that Obama should at least approach Colin Powell; and I must say, that appeals to me very much.

If not Bill Richardson, then probably Joe Biden.

John,

I doubt he will ask another black man to run with him, even though Powell would give him credibility.

Since Drudge said Caroline Kennedy is looking for a Veep for him, I wouldn’t be surprised if she said Robert Kennedy Jr (a major environmental wacko).

One name I’ve heard bandied about is Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, whose only claim to fame in my book is…her son’s board game.
