<p>We are all pretty sure it will be Obama or Hillary. Who will they pick for a VEEP? Will they chose each other, or look outside for someone from a purple state (red/blue, i.e Evan Bayh)</p>

<p>Hillary has a running mate. His name is Bill.</p>

<p>Hillary’s first choice would be probably be Obama, which would be a brilliant move for both of them. There’s no way Clinton would serve as veep to Obama, though. I don’t know what profile Obama would use to balance the ticket, but I’d bet that it would be a Westerner, and a woman. White males are just SO un-Democratic these days.</p>

<p>(Please, O Lord, don’t let Obama get the nomination and then pick Barbara Boxer for his running mate. Pleasepleaseplease.)</p>

<p>Brian Moore</p>

<p>I think if Hillary has a free hand, she picks Wesley Clark. Or maybe Ted Strickland. No chance for Vilsack or Richardson. But if she gets the nomination, Obama may be a forced choice in terms of unity.</p>

<p>Amid all the hubbub about race, did you see the Democratic turnout in South Carolina? Over 500,000 votes. !!!</p>

<p>Btw, WashDad, Barbara Boxer is among my least favorite Democratic Senators. And she’s one of mine. I’ll take Feinstein any day, even when I disagree with her. Boxer is a lightweight.</p>

6

<p>I say Edwards, and have heard rumors as such too.</p>

7

<p>jesse ventura, al sharpton, gary coleman, or arnold schwarzenegger, for sure.</p>

8

<p>Edwards would make a helluva AG.</p>

9

<p>I agree with WashDad’s analysis. Hillary’s first choice would be Obama, but there’s no way Hillary would accept a VP spot from anyone.</p>

10

<p>I just don’t think she will take Obama, the level of their fight now and how they are calling each other out would make the republican ads too easy by just running them attacking each other. Maybe she would take Harold Ford from Tennessee.</p>

11

<p>Edwards or Bill Richardson? (the latter being better fit to serve as SecState)</p>

12

<p>B&P, Ford is damaged goods right now (family members scandal) and might not even deliver Tennessee.</p>

<p>As for a Hillary/Obama ticket, shotgun marriages have been arranged before.</p>

13

<p>You only have to remember Kennedy/Johnson or Johnson/Humphrey to see what compromise is possible in political unions.</p>

14

<p>Hillary/Obama</p>

<p>Obama/Edwards</p>

15

<p>Obama/Easley</p>

16

<p>Hillary needs a vp from CA, or OH for electoral reason…my vote Evan Bayh…he is young, and not divisive to counteract Hillary’s negative rating</p>

<p>Obama needs a vp from NY or FL for the same reason …my vote Chuck Schummer (he has experience to countract Obama’s lack of it)</p>
