Obama's Veep-Hunting Team Gears Up
By Greg Sargent - June 6, 2008, 3:30PM

The team tasked to find Obama the right veep swings into action:

Congressional sources tell NBC News that Obama's vice presidential vetting team of Jim Johnson, Caroline Kennedy, and Eric Holder will be on Capitol Hill Monday and Tuesday interviewing senators and members of Congress about their recommendations. Those being visited are NOT potential choices.

The point, according to Senate offices, is to collect information about a potential field.

One interesting dimension to this: The question of how senators or Members of Congress will navigate pressure from their own constituents to advocate for making Hillary Veep, should there be any.

A CNN poll released today found that 54% of registered Dems think Obama should name her as Veep, while 43% opposed it. Sixty percent of Democratic women favored it.

But I would be more enthusiastic about Pat if he had DECKED Cheenee when Cheenee told him to go fuck himself.

you wanted him to? wow.

Is "silly" the new, groupthink buzzword?!1 (You & I have been pals.)

He's been one of the greatest progressive voices in the Senate for decades.
