Great Veep choice for Obama?
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Tue Mar-11-08 11:00 AM by HooptieWagon
Bob Graham.

>Very experienced, US Senator and Florida Governor.

> Still loved by Flordians, just might deliver state to Obama (I don't think Dems can do it otherwise).

> A policy wonk - knows Foreign and Domestic Policy inside out. Excellent person for Senate president to lobby Senate on behalf President's policies and nominees.

> Not a charasmatic speaker before large crowds like Obama, but will do well in Town Hall type meetings.

> Only a fair debater, but very knowledgable on issues and can likely destroy the Rep VP (whom I strongly suspect will be a fundie - prob Huckabee) on experience and knowledge.

> He was former Chairman of Senate Intelligence Committee, he was one who insisted on NIE before war vote. He was one of only 6 senators to read the full uncensored report. All 6 voted against IWR. Graham strongly urged fellow Senators to read the uncensored NIE, said there wasn't the evidence that bushCo was claiming in the censored NIE or publicly.

> He's been a professor since he dropped out of '04 Presidential race - can't remember school (Yale? Colombia?)
