Reply #19: I'm thinking Webb, because Webb was so adamant that he wouldn't do it.

he could say that the campaign has been so distorted on Obama's positions that he had no choice. As he is a first time senator and a new dem, he could be considered not the typical washington insider, yet bring military and foreign policy creds to the table considering his service and his position as naval secretary under reagan. He is a pit bull. He has also been uncharacteristically silent lately. His nomination would certainly be a surprise.

Further, as he has said NO very boisterously, the right wing would have called off the dogs on preparing attacks against him and instead, focus on Biden, Bayh, Kaine, etc. as they are the media lapdogs flavors of the week!

Just my two cents
