Tim Kaine will do just fine. The devisiveness among NY Dems brought Hillary Clinton to NY. It is the same spirit of contention that is keeping Kaine ahead of Clinton in the veep stakes. Kaine and Obama is close in age but Virginia will be purple enough to be blue if Kaine is on the ticket. Kaine may also give Obama clout with the defense industry based in Virginia. So be it! Gov.

Like Obama he is fairly new to the national scene.. However Kaine would probably put Virginia in the Obama column. Most pundits don't thing the VP matters. However I believe it does. It helps solidify undecided or leaning voters. Geographically, it can balance the ticket . If the presidential candidate is perceived in experienced in a certain policy area the right VP can make a difference. I personally belive that if JFK hadn't chosen LBJ for VP. Kennedy would have lost Texas and the election. My personal choice is Joe Biden for VP; Bill Richardson for Secretary of State; John Edwards for Attorney General; Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense; Mike Shea for Secretary of Labor; Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton for HUD Secretary, Warren Buffett for Secretary of Treasury; Dennis Kucinich for Secretary of Commerce and Hillary Clinton as White House Secretary( She could give tours of the white house and she knows where all the bathrooms are at).

This will be no fault of her own. The problem is not Hillary, it is the baggage of Bill Clinton. If you recall an earlier speech from Mr. Obama, he mentioned that there can only be one president in the WH at a time. Does this tell you something about why he can not pick Hillary. ______________________________________________________ Can someone please explain or define experience as it relates to running for the office of president of the USA? General Clarke took a lot of heat simply by saying that being in the military does not necessarily qualify you to be president. He is correct. There are two issues that need be considered if you are a McCain fan. While in the military was he ever in the position of leadership of more than a handful of people and did he make decisions that would affect others and at the same time impact our military position or affect another country? The second point is this, the military is not a democracy, you do not vote on issues, therefore you do not get opposing views. How does that in anyway qualify anyone to be president. Experience is a great thing, but final decisions are what we have to live with. Knowledge does not necessarily breed Wisdom, nor does Experience necessarily breed good decision making. Ask yourself this question, upon all of the alledged experience Sen. McCain has, why did he vote to go to Iraq, and why did he say that it would be easy and it would be over very quickly? Is this an example of experience trumps decision making prowess? Finally, yes Sen. Obama wants to be a change agent when in office, but he has to use the system in its current form to get to that office. Are you feeling me people???????

How "new" and "inexperienced" is that. Did he think that because we all loved the Kennedys that this is an honorable thing to do. What in the world (other than her college degree) would she know who would be the best person to be a vice president. This country dug a whole for themselves when they made Obama the nominee. Had things been not so one-sided in the media (just as it was recently with Obama in Europe) Hillary would have been the nominee, and she would not have needed a "committee" to help her choose her running mate. This has all been a travesty, and we will end up being the losers. Whether we vote for Obama, or McCain, its the lessor of two evils. Hate has destroyed countries before, and the hate the bloggers showed for Hillary will come back to haunt them.

It has become obvious to anyone who watch Obama regularly that he has become and probably always have been........a back-slapping, huggy-touching, swaggering, arrogant, palsy-walsy, overconfident, over-ambitious, impatient representative of people like myself. He may have unique qualities to offer this country, as some believe, but he sure seem to be going over the top to achieve credibility. Hillary Clinton is the only one who can help Obama win in Nov.

The media has been asking why...with all the publicity, the buzz, the media support, the money, the great speeches and the world photo op tour is Obama still not running away with a lead in the poll against Mccain? The answer is simple: John Mccain is very reason why Obama does not have a bigger lead in the polls. You see, to get attention, a buzz, the wow factor and the publicity...all you need are theatrics, noise, bells, whistles, well scripted words, a shinning created image and bigger then life staged show. This Obama has accomplished. However, to get respect and a sense of relation to regular voters, you need time, experience, character and a proven integrity track record. This is something Mccain has that Obama can never obtain via publicists and marketing campaigns. Its simple really....voters knows a commercial when they see one.

Unfortunately I think Obama wants the spotlight too much on himself, and Hillary would steal too much of his thunder, so he'll pick some guy no one's ever heard of West of the Mississippi.
