I actually think Eliot Spitzer would make a good Vice-President. I mean the prostitute stuff is terrible and all but if we're just talking about how he'd do the job...

Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, Gov. Ted Strickland of Ohio, Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia

I've yet to determine any strong order of preference. All, in their own way, would add solid advantages to an Obama-headed ticket

1) Joe Biden.

2) Ted Strickland.

3) Anthony Zinni.

...would also have thought it worth considering the likes of Nunn, Richardson, Kerry, Bayh, Graham, Nelson (Bill) and Sebelius.

What is most important for a running mate with Obama is that they balance the need to flesh-out his experiance while fitting in with his campaign's "change" narative.

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.


Once the nomination is officially not hers, Hillary will jump at the chance to be veep. It's a heck of a lot closer to the presidency than staying in the Senate. Pelosi's opinion is irrelavent. Since when does the Speaker choose who the vp is?

I think he will come down in Obama's camp.  I don't think he endorsed anyone yet.

Guys...Bob Kerrey was the one saying "Barack Hussein Obama." Remember that? He's a known Hillary supporter.

Endorsing the other candidate doesn't necessarily disqualify you from being VP.  If someone is a good fit politically, they could be chosen regardless.  That said, it's hard to imagine a ticket shared by Barack Obama and Bob "secular madrassa" Kerrey.

I would actually suggest, in 2008, Hillary pick an Obama supporter and vice versa.  But you're also right, Kerrey would be a poor choice.  Perhaps Tim Kaine for Hillary?
