14. It's going to be Tim Kaine, you heard it here first.
No Senators allowed, you must have a governor or a general. Wesley Clark is unfortunately not a great campaigner or speaker. Edwards won't endorse so he's out it seems. No other general or senator is good enough or YOUNG enough.

This is a youth revolution and having an old guy or gal is not going to cut it, although George Mitchell is cool and I think that would be OK.

But think about Kaine. Out of all the governors, only he is popular, a great speaker and can deliver a swing state - Virginia. When he spoke on MSNBC he was fantastic. He endorsed Obama a YEAR AGO.

And Kaine cannot run for governor again in 2009, and there are no Senate seats left to win if Warner gets in. Winning VP would mean the Dem Lt. Gov becomes Gov and then the Lt. Gov can run as an incumbent!!

So to pick Kaine is WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN for Obama. Plus they really like each other and just worked well as a team to win VA!
