Obama and Hagel?,Nunn? is that OK with you?

[mitchtv]

Tweety was discussing this today , and he and Howard Fineman had these for the top two, over some real Democrats. Might as well go with Lieberman. Sure as hell, isn't OK with me.

[babylonsister]

1. I want nunn of either of them for vp. nt

[Rockholm]

2. The media pushed Obama all the way, why not VP too?

[MADem]

6. General Electric makes the pick...

Surprised they don't push Brian Williams or Tim Russert for the gig!

They may as well, really....

[N4457S]

19. But...

...it's always been that way. The banks picked Thomas Jefferson back in the day.

It's not the United States of northern Europe. It's the United States of America.

9. Honestly, this thing about Obama being the media darling is stupid

Hill was the the presumptive media darling until the campaign got going

[Rockholm]

13. The media need this thing to go until now.

They pushed Hillary as hard as they wanted and then switched to Obama. Had Hillary had this sewn up in February or early March, then who the hell would be wasting their time watching Matthews, Russert, Blitzer, et al in May? NOBODY. This is all for ratings and advertising dollars for the corporate overlords.

[John Q. Citizen]

3. I wonder why Tweety thinks he gets to define acceptable VP picks? My hope is Obama

choses someone that none of the pundits have punditized about.

[NNadir]

4. If I watched Tweety, or gave a shit what he said, I might be concerned.

However I don't watch Tweety and I couldn't care less what he says.

He's not a Democrat. He's a twit.

[panader0]

5. The rap was that BHO needs a VP with defense credentials

OK. There's Webb too. Maybe> Any suggestions??
On edit, heaven forbid, that the VP has to take the reins, we want someone who will carry the flag for BHO. A person with the same vision.

[DJ13]

8. I think he needs someone with foreign policy credentials, not defense

Defense is the neocon way of dealing with the world.

Obama's message of change should signify a break with our militarism, and for that reason having a solid foreign policy expert as VP would then be the better choice.

[panader0]

15. Yes on the break from militarism

hOW ABOUT rICHARDSON?

[Smarmie Doofus]

17. Madelyn Albright?

All of the above plus a woman and a Clintonite.

[RB TexLa]

24. Not eligible

[Double T]

7. Clinton/Clark is GREAT with me!

[alfredo]

10. He's one of Hillary's supporters, so that might be a good move.

[davidmabus2006]

20. re

How many posts before I canb post a thread?

[alfredo]

26. Not sure. Give it a try. If you can, you can. Anyway, welcome to DU.

[msongs]

11. nunn is another donnie mcclurkin kind of guy - a slap in the face of the glbt members nt

[Smarmie Doofus]

12. Nunn was *relentlessly* homophobic during the Clinton years.

Not exactly the right signal to be sending right about now.

He's also pro-war... far as I know.


I'd push fo Webb if I were advising Obama.

[Dhalgren]

16. Wow! With those credentials,

I'm guessing it will be Sam Nunn for sure! Obama/Nunn! Smell the victory!

:sarcasm: - (for the sarcasm challenged)...

[bluetrain]

30. Obama is a homophobe, too; they're a perfect fit.

[MzNov]

14. What, so no Democract wants the job?

Big, big, big mistake to put an R up for VP. There are thousands of great Dems out there who deserve to have a little spotlight after 8 freakin years of HELL.......

[unkachuck]

18. hell no....

....we don't need any center-right corporate VP sabotaging us and Obama as we push him further to the left....it's our turn now!

[peacetalksforall]

21. Tweety is a loser. Hagel is a criminal in my book. No to Nunn.

Tweety is a psy loser.

[shawmut]

22. His name has come up in every election going back to 1988

No to Nunn. :thumbsdown:

[ColbertWatcher]

23. No republicans, ever.

Their allegiance lies with their party, not the citizens.

Maybe the Secretary of Agriculture. Maybe.

[davekriss]

25. I would have serious trouble voting Democratic...

...if Hagel was on the ticket. (I'd have less trouble with Nunn.) I would have to sit the election out. :(

[JCMach1]

27. Bob Graham, or Gen. Clark

or GTFO

[ConsAreLiars]

28. That "pander to the sickos" strategy didn't work well for Gore. Clark is by far

then best option. Not seen as particularly partisan, yet progressive on every issue, as far as that goes within the national political spectrum, and appealing to those who want to be reassured that someone who knows how to run the military effectively is on board.

[jimmyfungus]

29. JIM WEBB IS DA MAN...SENATOR WEBB IS DA CHOICE FOR VP!!

Nono..it should be Jim Webb. He is a pit bull, perfect to deal with the Republicans, and what you need in a Vice President. He is from a red state in the south. He appeals to the values voters, and has credibility on national defense.

Wesley Clark has poor political instincts. He is prone to gaffes, and not much of a politician.

Jim Webb!
