Bosco: Thanks for the explanation and the wonderful complement. I was just kidding. I like playing Veep-stakes and even though you asked Keith, I decided to give my view. If you like Clinton, I'm not sure I understand why you voted for Obama.

You're one of the most fair and open-minded people I have come across on the interwebamajig. I really have no idea about potential candidates. I know next to nothing. I'm really interested in the POV of anyone else on the list as well. As for Gymfig's anti-Obama issues, you're in the same boat I was in for both Clinton runs. I ended up voting for him because he was the best of the two options. He turned out to be surprisingly better than I thought he would though there were enough things that bothered me that I never could fully get on the train. I like Hillary. I think she gets a damned if she does/ damned is she doesn't choice more often than any of the men she's run against. She's hungry for the office and to my mind, that's a good thing. That said, I went with Obama in my primary. I think it's pretty clear that what ever his flaws, between him and McCain he's the best option.

I love this puzzle Webb- Former Secretary of the Navy; former republican, could help deliver VA, has a good relationship with Obama - they co-sponsored a Vet bill together, produced Vet documentaries for PBS, would appeal to Reagan democrats and white men to help turn some southern states purple; Con: I hear during his Reagan years he said some things about affirmative action than anger blacks; some say he is too direct and gets foot in the mouth disease Bloomberg - Independents and Moderate republicans like him. Democrats like him. He's been a dem and a republican, he's a good manager. Would change the dem/ Republican dynamic. Cons: No international Experience. From a blue state The four Hilary consolation picks would be: Wesley Clark, Evan Baye, Strickland and Rendell. I think Baye might be the strongest. He is a former governor, has international experience, would appeal to Reagan democrats and white men to help turn some southern states purple - including deliver Indiana. The appease the women VP pick would be: Sibelius, McCaskil, or the governor of AZ. I do not think the Hillary supporters who are angry will accept a substitute angry and I wonder about two change candidates on the ticket. Also I do not think any of them have international experience I think Sibelius would be best. I think the AZ governor has young children and many Americans have issues with the idea of a woman with young children as president. They think she would neglect the kids. However I like McCaskil, but that would be two new Senators on the ticket. I like Edwards, but he did not deliver NC in 2004 and he does not want it. He wants Attorney General and I think he would be great for it I like Richardson, but he is clumsy of the campaign trail for himself and two change brown candidates at one time might be too much for this racist country to handle. I say give him Secretary of state ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links
