If it's not Hillary or Biden Obama better prepare for Incoming

I think Hillary and Biden both would be solid choices at this point, particularly given the rumored short list.

I'd love to be proven wrong and have either Webb, Clark or even Sherrod Brown instead.

However, given the short list Bayh is so awful, that it's rumored he was only mentioned to make other candidates seem better.

Kaine is not even that popular anymore in his home state and would have to be introduced with Obama to the country at the same time.

Sebelius would be okay if she could get a speaking class, but if she's the pick Obama should have introduced her long ago and sent her on an overseas trip.

Hillary or Biden would be fine.  Obama either needs an attack dog or someone who can hold their own on the economy.

Hillary would be a great headfake/manipulation of the media...

THAT"S IT! (none / 0)

I swear I see one more VP diary. I'm going to put out a last call and you all will be cut off until after the announcement.

Post a diary complaining about the VP diaries. Then I'll post one complaining about people complaining about the VP diaries. Then someone else can post one complaining about how people write too many diaries complaining about other diaries.

This is a comment, not a diary. (none / 0)

These push real diaries off the upcoming list.

you're very "selective" in your umbrage, in fact you do not make that complaint in any diary that may be short but that you agree with.

I agree, it has to be Webb, Biden, or Hillary.  Clark not so good.  He went off message too many times for Obama to go with him.  Also, he is not that good of a bull dog.  Not like Biden, Webb, and Hillary.  Clark is just not mean enough.  If Obama picks Biden you know you are getting someone tough.  Hillary is also tough, and McBush has already said really nice things about her.  Webb is a real war hero, who is tough as nails.  The only drawback is that a lot of women will have a problem with him.  But I think that they would get over it.  Kaine is just not that tough.  He is too nice.

Obama has made his decision. (none / 0)

So all these self indulgent diaries about hi VP are really quite pointless.

Rec'd and Mojo'd.  An excellent transitional Diary to bridge the gap between the "Who he must pick" to the "I'm very concerned he did not pick" Diaries in what may become a Trilogy eventually.

Clark or Webb (none / 0)

Are the best two choices IMO.

Brilliant analysis (1.00 / 0)

Your acumen is second to none. You've distilled the matter down to its essence, and brought us to the very crux of the biscuit. Well done, sir. You surely have no peer!
