Who should Obama choose as running mate?

[PretzelWarrior]

Poll question: Who should Obama choose as running mate?

A bit early? maybe a tad....but I want to see where other people are at. This is assuming they would accept.

[angie_love]

1. Jim Webb or General Zinni

[tammywammy]

5. Those are good choices.

[Tellurian]

33. When is Obama going to start his Senate Campaign?

I don't think choosing a running mate will be a concern of his...reelection to the Senate will be though... especially with the Rezko Trial coming up next week and leaks have it, Obama is implicated. Probably why he so subdued and stressed in tonight's debate..

[PretzelWarrior]

34. why is Hilllary lying about her age?

buwahahaha!

[bjnumb9]

36. When are you going to

read the writing on the wall?

[Tellurian]

40. Keep us posted on how Obama is bearing up next week when the Rezko Trial begins..

maybe thats why he looked so stressed out and listless at the debate last night..

[bjnumb9]

41. Ahh, I see. You read the writing in your head.

The only stress Obama will be feeling from this point on will be from running his General Election campaign, which is already under way.

And Hillary might as well have had DEFEATED stamped on her forehead during the debate. It's crystal clear now to those in the real world. Of course when you're trying to read in your head, where it's about as clear as mud.

2. Not gonna vote, but would pick Clark if limited to that list

[MadBadger]

3. I think the problem is that your choices suck

Jim Webb, Bill Richardson, Tim Kaine, Kathleen Sebelius should be there over Mark Warner and Al Gore

[PretzelWarrior]

8. I added Richardson, Webb, and Sebelius

[scheming daemons]

4. None of the above

Bill Richardson

[PretzelWarrior]

6. I added Richardson

[ruggerson]

21. Much as I like Richardson

If Obama wins, his advisors will tell him that a ticket with a black man and a hispanic is not the way to go.

He has to go with a southern white guy with excellent military cred.

[lligrd]

7. Barbara Boxer

Why do these polls always leave her out? She would be great.

[PretzelWarrior]

10. hmmm......I do love her.

but I see her as more the kick ass Senator from California along with Feinstein than I see her as VEEP

[lligrd]

15. Boxer And Fienstein Are Complete Opposites

Fienstein gave * every vote he wanted. She will never get another dime from me. Boxer stood firm and voted her conscience. She and Obama also get along excellently.

[PretzelWarrior]

29. interesting. I didn't follow all of Feinstein's votes....

but I always thought she was pretty liberal. Shows what I know.

[lligrd]

32. She Was But Her Husband Also Benefited From The War

and she pretty obviously is Pro-Israel. Whatever her reasons, she gave in on everything including the last FISA bill.

[MadBadger]

17. I dont want to lose her seat in the senate

[lligrd]

25. I Know And She Is A Great Senator

But she would make an excellent VP!

[MonkeyFunk]

37. She's a sixty-eight year old jewish liberal

from Marin.

She won't do much to attract republicans and independents.

[elleng]

9. I'd really rather see Wes as National Security Advisor,

but VP will do for this exercise.

[Bodhi BloodWave]

11. I am shocked, shocked i tell you that

you don't have Ron Paul on that list :crazy: now there would be a kick ass team Obama/Paul 08 :silly:

[PretzelWarrior]

13. ummmm....thanks. but no.

[Bodhi BloodWave]

14. Hehe, quick reply which makes sense concidering the nuttyness of my post, voted for Clark tho :)

[apocalypsehow]

12. I voted Kathleen Sebelius. She would make a magnificent running mate for Senator Obama,

and has executive experience as the Governor of the great state of Kansas. As Vice-president, in the event of an emergency she would truly be able to step in as President "on day one."

[grantcart]

23. so did I. It would also help establish another woman in the national scene

and thereby drive HRC nuts.

[apocalypsehow]

27. Great point! And exactly right - I agree 100%.

:thumbsup:

[PretzelWarrior]

28. haha. you're funny. you mean Kathleen's comatose SOTU response didn't launch her

into America's warm embrace?

[MrSlayer]

16. Should? Clark. Will? I don't know.

Clark is obviously out of the running due to his Clinton ties but he would shore up the perceived foreign policy weakness. I would suggest Richardson.

[meow mix]

18. i voted for clark but i really want richardson badly i wish i could switch now oops lol

[PretzelWarrior]

19. dang. they should let you unvote and revote.

ADMINS!!!!!

[gateley]

20. Webb. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

22. I never get Howard Dean as a choice in these polls

He is the one that transformed politics.

[PretzelWarrior]

24. and continuing to do so as DNC chair

as long as DEMS keep winning and making such large coin for campaigns....I say keep him where he is.

[lligrd]

26. Dean Would Be Great Too

But I think we still need him where he is. We have a lot more to accomplish before we take our party back.

[Crunchy Frog]

30. I think he needs to go with someone who's very strong on foreign policy.

Wes would be great, but that probably isn't going to happen.

[PretzelWarrior]

31. interesting. John Edwards leads with Clark right behind

and separating themselves from the also rans are BIll Richardson and Jim Webb.

[Alexander]

35. Russ Feingold.

[Political Heretic]

38. WHY THE CRAP IS JOE BIDEN ALWAYS OMITTED FROM THESE POLLS?

MASS Foreign policy credentials.

[bjnumb9]

39. Webb

Military experience, quasi-Southern, and you've got to love the guy who knocked George "Strange Racial Epithet" Allen out of office.

[Thrill]

42. He has to seriously get a vicious attack dog. That much is clear

Can't make the same mistake as John Kerry.

He has to go with someone like Jim Webb
