Am I read this wrong? I see "your top 3 choices for obama's running  mate" not "3 of the most unlikely people to ever be obama's running mate including one who isn't even a democrat"

Well I'll do it according to what I read.

1. Kathleen Sebelius
2. Russ Feingold
3. Joe Biden

bloomberg isnt a member of any party.

and isnt obama the big unifier?  i thought he was going to bring us all together...instead of practicing the same ol' divisive politics?

I wouldn't rate Bill Bradley as unlikely as BRTD does. He'd be an interesting sleeper bet were he available for less than 0.5 on Intrade, IMO.

In terms of likelihood, I still put Sebelius at the top, but otherwise I don't know.

I really wonder why Bayh got more mention than Sebelius. Neither is from a swing state. Sebelius is a brilliant politician and one of the most effective. Bayh is an extremely boring and uninteresting guy who has nothing going for him but his last name.

I suppose it's the idea that hordes of Ohioans would just melt at the thought of voting for a ticket that includes a guy from a neighboring state on it.

The fact that Bayh was a potential candidate for President is probably a reason his name has been mentioned more.

Is this asking who you think is most likely or who you want him to pick?

He really needs to pick Hillary. She's well-known, has an attack-dog personality, and will help unify the party, which is particularly important in swing Rust Belt states.

Never gonna happen.  Hillary would never accept such a proposal and Pelosi has already squashed the "dream ticket" multiply times anyways.

My top three:

1. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius
2. Gov. Tim Kaine
3. Sen. Joe Biden

and a wealth of experience endorsing republicans and  wanting to punch the president in the face.

An old, has been, former Northeastern liberal Senator would be picked for what reasons?

Being a "good man" and personally liking someone isn't a reason why you mentioned him.

Uh, my personal feelings (though I don't see where I implied that I hate the man) have nothing to do with the discussion.
