Poll question: Who do you THINK Obama will pick?
I'm beginning to think Sebelius now for some reason.

3. That would be fun
The reason I think it could be someone like Sebelius or Clark or a dark horse is that he wouldn't want to give ammo with attention.

4. Yeah. Last week, everyone was certian it would be Kaine.
Today it's all Bayh. Balloons being floated to distract, and narrow down the gossip.

6. I can't believe I am saying this
but I think it may be Hillary. Three months ago it would have upset me but not today. I think if Obama's internal polling shows him slipping in key states and the addition of her on the ticket helps, he will pick her in a flash.

7. I think it will be Kaine, Gov of
Virginia. For some reason if it isn't Hillary the ticket Obama/Kaine sounds right. Of course, what about Obama/Kennedy (Caroline)! That would be a really wonderful surprise. Anyone see that happening?

14. A bit Cheneyish, don't you think?
Not that she's anything like Biggus Dickus, but if the head of the VP selection committee becomes the VP every time, then what's the point of a selection committee?

8. I don't know. All I do know is that Obama has made very good decisions
during this campaign. He has an awesome staff. He has great organization. I know he has put a lot of thought into this and will make the best decision.

13. I agree
She has a shot. It might be a small one now that she is the keynote speaker... but I still think she has a chance.

10. I think that three names that are out there are the three names.
Edited on Mon Aug-04-08 04:42 PM by Bleachers7
It's Biden, Kaine, or Bayh.

11. Hagel?
I know he isnt the most liberal and he is a right winger but to run a bipartisan ticket would make it a near landslide. Plus aside from the big Dick, VPs usually arent policy makers. so..

I like the idea of a liberal VP like a Kucinich, but I would rather have Obama in office than to see a dream ticket. I like Obama/Clark, would be good for his foreign policy status. How about an Obama/Frank ticket, would gaurantee the gay vote, not that the dems need much help.

17. Put a repuke on the ticket
Edited on Mon Aug-04-08 04:49 PM by Toonces27
and lose half of the Democratic voters - especially in 2016 with a repuke heading the Dem ticket. I wish people would quit bringing up this nonsense.

15. General Clark is the smartest choice
though I have no idea whether the two know each other or whether they get along.
