Candidate VP picks.

For Obama?

For McCain?

Any idears who you think either candidate will pick as their Vice President?

Obama
-Richardson
-Edwards
-Webb
-Feingold
-Clinton

Clinton
-Edwards
-Obama
-Webb
-Feingold

McCain
-Sununu
-Elizabeth Dole

For Obama:
-Nunn
-Bayh
-Webb
-Bloomberg

For McCain:
-Pawlenty
-Romney
-Sanford
-Lieberman

Hmmm, an independent for Obama and a non-party affiliated democrat for McCain? Is that even possible?

McCain- Condy Rice

surefire republican winning strategy

Edwards presumptively turned down Obama.
Obama turned down Clinton.
Rice turned down McCain.

Edwards essentially turned down Clinton as well, since he said he doesn't want to run for VP at all this year.

People still talking about VPs for Hillary...that's so cute...

I'd very much like to see Russ Feingold on the ticket with Obama, but I don't see that happening realistically.

Lieberman, huh. He may have publicly supported McCain back in December, but I don't think that being a former Dem VP hopeful and an Orthodox Jew would help him on any GOP ticket.

Hillary for Alderman!

Obama . .. Clinton

Mccain . . .Tom Ridge . . . remember you read it here!

Obama ought to grab hold of Bill Richardson-it would help secure that Hispanic vote which Hillary claims Obama is unable to get on his own.


Clinton would do well to take Ed Rendell (Pennsylvania Governor), he is a strong supporter of her and although I don't believe half the rubbish flowing from his lips, he has a way of convincing people that he's really looking out for your best interests (much like Clinton does).


McCain might do well if he brought in Mike Huckabee. Huckabee would bring in some of those Conservatives who are unsure of McCain.

According to this (which has already eliminated Clinton from the running): Exclusive Poll: Ed Rendell Strong V.P. Candidate - Local News Story - WCAU | P the following has been found-

McCain-Huckabee vs. Obama-John Edwards: Obama, 50 percent; McCain 40 percent.
McCain-Huckabee vs. Obama-Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius: McCain, 45 percent; Obama 42.
McCain-Huckabee vs. Obama-Rendell: Obama, 47 percent; McCain 40 percent.
McCain-Huckabee vs. Obama-Sen. Chuck Hagel (D-Neb.): McCain, 42 percent; Obama 40 percent.
McCain-former Massachusetts Gov. and presidential candidate Mitt Romney vs. Obama-Edwards: Obama, 52 percent; McCain 37 percent.
McCain-Romney vs. Obama-Sebelius: McCain, 41 percent; Obama, 40 percent.

Once the democratic candidate is set, everyone may reconsider their positions. I think if guaranteed an active, participant role, Edwards would surely accept Obama's VP request. One reason being, Edwards wife just seems to like a higher profile, would she get that if he accepted a cabinet position?

Rice is so ineffective. Hopefully McCain never seriously considered her for any role in his administration. I like Dole, Sununu, or a very conservative Midwestern or Southern politician for McCain.

Hillary is trying to repeat '92, allow some of us (me) to support her delusion.

If Obama and his advisors are as politically savvy as they seem, there has to be awareness that Feingold would be a good addition to his 'change' ticket. Only downside to that match up is losing out on the populist angle.

Obama/Clinton would be the GOLDEN ticket for Democrats. Plus it would add experience to Obama's corner. And how cool would it be to have two firsts in one election...a black president and a woman vp. I hope this is the way it would go...but who knows.

DEFINITELY not voting for McCain.....

*personally i'd rather have it Clinton/Obama :) but that doesn't seem possible now :)
