Democratic Vice-President Selector - Whose Your Pick?

[Median Democrat]

I found this interesting website, which lets you enter the factors that you think are most important, then it generates a list of candidates that best match your criteria. Here is my list. Who knew that I liked Jim Webb and Wes Clark as a VP? Also, I don't even know Kathleen Sebelius, yet she is my idealogical twin.

1. Biden - 100%

(But I cheated :7)

[Thrill]

2. Webb

[onehandle]

3. I selected several things that would automatically leave her off, but she's still on my list.

Oprah Winfrey? Not in a million years.

I think their function engine is broken.

[Bucky]

4. now...

I got Clark. I love Clark. Yet I've been reluctant to be behind him.

He's simply the perfect VP candidate.

[Median Democrat]

9. Yeah, its like a magic 8 ball...

But Oprah Winfrey? Well, she's low on the list anyways. I also got Clark at the top of my list. What's he doing these days?

[Bucky]

14. Flying around, making speeches, showing up whenever Clinton asks him to.

Clark is staying busy. He's absolute canned energy.

[PM7nj]

5. Obama/Napolitano '08!

1. Chris Gregoire (100%) Information link
2. Janet Napolitano (100%) Information link
3. Dave Freudenthal (98%) Information link
4. Jim Doyle (98%) Information link
5. Bill Richardson (96%) Information link
6. Brad Henry (96%) Information link
7. Ed Rendell (96%) Information link
8. Brian Schweitzer (95%)

[Boz]

6. Mine came out to be Betty White, actually that was the spam, But Richardson 100

WHich is exactly the ticket I support and I think is the best answer so I think I cheated.

[LSparkle]

7. Richardson was my top choice (and I agree with that)

but EVAN BAYH came out as my #2 -- no way did I see that one coming!

I think Richardson or Wesley Clark would be a good choice.

[Boz]

11. I supported Clark in 2004 and beyond, Hes a bad fit for Obama, at this time and place

I think Richardson is the best ticket, the balances are a striking team on offset weaknesses for both.

[Yukari Yakumo]

8. Mine...

1. Brian Schweitzer (100%)
2. Bill Ritter (96%)
3. Dave Freudenthal (96%)
4. Howard Dean (90%)
5. Mark Warner (90%)
6. Brad Henry (86%)
7. Chet Culver (86%)
8. Chris Gregoire (86%)
9. Ed Rendell (86%)
10. Jim Doyle (86%)

- - - - -

Obama/Schweitzer? Obama/Dean? hmmm....

[Warren DeMontague]

10. Er, almost EVERY SINGLE ONE of those questions is essentially meaningless.

How about picking someone based on issues, rather than gender/race/geography?

Good grief. I went into it thinking it might be educational, but that's just a waste of time.

[julialnyc]

12. I got Wes Clark

But I was sort of cheating (knowing who I wanted)

[OzarkDem]

15. I choose Obama

[OzarkDem]

16. I choose Obama

He would make a great vice president.

[FlyingSquirrel]

17. Just a guess, but I don't think Chris Gregoire would accept

She has unfinished business here in WA and will almost certainly win re-election. But she only beat Dino Rossi by less than 200 votes and that was after two re-counts, so it's a sore point with Republicans still. I don't know that she'd be the best female choice. Boxer, perhaps. (Is she on the list?)

[BattyDem]

18. My Top 10

1. Janet Napolitano (100%)
2. Wes Clark (98%)
3. Joe Manchin (97%)
4. Mark Warner (93%)
5. Mike Beebe (91%)
6. Kathleen Sebelius (90%)
7. Chris Gregoire (89%)
8. Bill Richardson (88%)

10. Ed Rendell (88%)
