VEEP

In reviewing the AP's 'pros & cons' I, an Obama supporter, am strongly inclined to say that the 'pros' outweigh the 'cons' and that, moreover, the 'cons' can be overcome with the correct message and vp role. Whether or not Hill-Billy can play that way remains to be seen. But, I think it is nonsense to say that their egos are too big to settle for second place. No argument about the 'big ego' but just that being a step from the POTUS is an incredible and historic accomplishment. When I look at all the possibilities, I am in favor of a Obama-Clinton ticket. When you think about it, it would be an absolute blockbuster and more of a change election than the feared "more of the old Clinton era" talk I'm hearing. We are at an historic turning point in American history. The VP should be very strong and be given a rather prominent role...just ask Bush!-)...the POTUS job has grown and needs help with an exceptionally strong VP and cabinet. Here are my top five VP picks, in order of preference:
1) Clinton
2) Webb
3) Hagel
4) Sebelius
5) Biden
