Pick Your Veep

The Obama campaign is not officially commenting on the subject of a possible Vice Presidential pick, out of respect for Hillary's ongoing campaign.

While I, too, wish to respect the primary process until the very last voter has voted - there's nothing to stop us from a Irresponsibly Speculating. I mean come on, without irresponsible speculation we couldn't HAVE a 24 hour cable new media. And what a tragedy that would be (sarcasm alert).

So here's a by-no-means definitive list of potential Obama Vice Presidential candidates - what are your thoughts? Please write into comments with your best arguments in FAVOR of any of these people. Note, however, that I am moderating the comments and I don't want to see anything that insults any member of our party (you know what I mean) - I want to hear your best case argument for why any one or more of the people below would make a great VP, either from a political, symbolic or policy point of view.

In no particular order:
  • Kathleen Sebelius
  • Jim Webb
  • Ed Rendell
  • Hillary Clinton
  • Tim Kaine
  • Claire McCaskill
  • Tom Daschle
  • John Edwards
  • Chris Dodd
  • Joe Biden
  • Wesley Clark
  • Janet Napolitano
  • Bill Richardson
  • and (just for fun)... Mike Bloomberg
