49. Clark is my first choice, but several others are outside the party |
|
I have been a fan of an Obama/Clark ticket on the record for over 2 years but I don't think it will happen. Given all the current situations and needs involved in a vp I have two that I think might surprise people.
Top five tickets in order:
Obama/Clark: Its the war and foreign policy ticket
Obama/Bloomberg: Its the economy stupid ticket although I think Bloomberg no longer needs to hedge the bet as before the debate.
Obama/Hagel: Its the centrist problem solver ticket < I think this one is best suited for all of Americas situations and needs
Obama/Richardson: Its the energy foreign policy ticket and he brings in the state ticket too
Obama/Webb: Its the New blood ticket, The generational jump start.

And, although it is a long shot, it would be a great thing IMO if it were Barbara Boxer.

But I LOVE Biden - I think he is great and would compliment Obama in many ways

23. Biden's comments on being VP or Sec of State - very funny |

I posted some Q&A from the end of his CFR speech. The whole thing is great but I pasted in the part about his assessment of Hillary and Obama and John McCain's foreign policy skills + whether he'd be VP or Sec of State. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4802971

29. I read that - thank you for posting |
|
Still - Just makes me what him to be VP any more - I mean I like and voted for Obama - and he with his vision speeches will be good as President - but then having Biden as VP - would first in a general election lay to rest McCain's supposed straight talk express - and then Biden as VP complimenting Obama would just be great - Pres = here is the Vision - then to VP - ok now in other words lets tell it like it is
I think it would be an unstoppable combo

25. I would've said Clinton,but I think the primary has damaged her too much |
|
So Wes Clark would be a good choice. If it looks like a landslide is coming, maybe a nice move to the left would be in order - Feingold or Boxer.

barbara boxer has been mentioned several times, and janice d schakowsky, who would be great, but i would miss her as my congresswoman. i will add kathleen sebelius. i would love al gore. not realistic, i suppose, but barack would not be threatened by sharing the stage with him. i know he has already said no, but who could say no to obama?

55. Would you people QUIT trying to take Dems from the Senate!!!! |
|
We're obviously going to lose ONE Dem Senator to a Presidency! We can't afford to lose anymore! A Larger Senate majority is imperative if a Dem Pres. is going to accomplish ANYTHING!
I went to the Dem /governors Association to see what out options were there. I found several.
Gov. Mike Easley of NC.
Gov. Brad Henry of Ok.
Gov. Ted Kulongoski of Or.
Gov. Jim Doyal of Wisc.
Each of them appears to be popular in their States, and have great accomplishments in their governorships as well.
