Given that that seems to be the buzz today...

Personally, I'd prefer to see an actual Democrat as VP, but I can't ignore the electoral advantages. I'd vote for him anyway though, if I could vote.

Option 4.  Obama doesn't represent my views on the issues, so his VP pick won't impact my vote in any manner.

Obama's my first choice, and that would not change with a VP pick of Bloomberg.  But Obama should pick someone more experienced in foreign policy and military matters than himself.  Bloomberg is less experienced in those areas.

That would be great! Let's have two people on the ticket with no foreign policy experience at all!

I doubt this will happen.

I'm just as likely, but I really like Bloomberg. However, I'm not sure Bloomberg will be a great help to Obama. I don't see that Bloomberg helps with foreign policy/defense credentials, he doesn't help (I'd guess) with those working class voters Clinton's winning, and he doesn't help add a state to the Dem column.

Gore had FP experience as a member of Congress for many years, then as Vice-President for eight years.  Clinton, you're absolutely right about.

I'd still support Obama whether or not he selected Bloomberg to be his running mate.
