So, who do you like for Vice President?

[shenmue]

It has to be somebody.

[DJ13]

1. Richardson, Biden, Feingold, several possibilities

[tekisui]

2. Biden is great--foreign policy experience.

Feingold--oh Hell's yeah!

[HereSince1628]

3. I think Richardson would be a hoot as Cheney's successor

His video of Cheney's bunker would be a gas.

[Mojambo]

4. Feingold, Biden or Clark n/t

[saltpoint]

5. In no particular order, I like Bill Bradley, Kathleen Sebelius, Tom Harkin,

Alexis Herman, Barbara Boxer, Chris Van Hollen, Bill Richardson, Brian Schweitzer, Russ Feingold, Marcie Kaptor, Janet Napolitano, Max Cleland, and E. J. Dionne.

9. heh heh !

thought you slip one past "this" old timer, didn't ya :rofl:

Perhaps he could write his column as an inside the admin blog, huh ? LOL

[saltpoint]

10. Hey now. I like EJ Dionne. Hear me?! I LIKE HIM!

[jaysunb]

25. me too

one of the last honest ones...

[saltpoint]

26. Agree. Once in a while he's on the Diane Rehm program and the two of them

have some of the most civil, informed conversation you can find on a radio.

[Muttocracy]

6. lots to choose from; doubt Biden would

He's pretty much said he wouldn't do VP or Sec of State. He wouldn't under Clinton. Can't see him under Edwards. Think he and Obama have similar personality and approach in many ways, and I would have liked to see Biden / Obama. Can't see the Robin / Batman version as some have phrased it.

Biden can accomplish a lot as head of SFRC and senior member of judiciary, provided we get more Dems in the Senate. And with such a slim majority and weak leadership in Congress, we need Biden in the Senate.

Of course, I wish Biden could take office tomorrow. :cry: And I have not warmed to any of the 3 remainders.

[elleng]

13. JoeIs, you think Joe and Obama have

similar personality and approach? I'm curious to know how/where?

I'd be very happy to see Biden remain where he is; in that role, with a friendly administration, lots of good could happen.

[Muttocracy]

23. nothing concrete, more of a gut feeling I guess...

just seems to me they're both pragmatic, e.g, their approaches to health care - goal of universal but practical steps to get there given the reality of the situation - better to do practical things right away than butt heads. Both have gotten flack for working on amendments to bills to improve them rather than rejecting them outright.

I guess I mean compared to Clinton-Biden or Edwards-Biden comparisons. Something about their debate style, campaign style, something intangible?

Perhaps part of it is remember comparison Biden made to Obama being rather like him in 1988.

[elleng]

27. 1988???

Obama was 27 in 1988!!!

[Muttocracy]

30. no I meant being a young candidate (Biden in 1988, Obama in 2008) n/t

[Muttocracy]

29. self-delete dupe n/t

[The Straight Story]

7. Maybe Hillary

:rofl:

[gratuitous]

8. Before you get too far ahead of yourselves

I will be on the ticket only if drafted by acclamation.

Oh, and I'll need a man-sized safe for my office. Never mind why.

[Captain Angry]

11. Does the safe need to be refrigerated?

:-)

[gratuitous]

14. I don't have to answer that

Executive privilege. National security.

MUSHROOM CLOUD!

:hide:

[johnfunk]

12. George Clooney. Don't laugh...

... he's smarter and better-looking than Reagan (and a better debater), a successful entrepreneur, a master at bitch-slapping the Wolf Blitzers of the world, and will draw hueueueuge crowds on the campaign trail.

It will drive the GOP mad.

[Bright Eyes]

15. Lieberman!

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Actually, how about Kucinich?

[elleng]

16. Bright Eyes, how would Dennis be useful?

Can he get around the Hill successfully?

[Lone_Wolf]

24. McCain is seriously looking at him...

Holy Joe is campaigning for McCain too. They would be hard to defeat.

[RFKJrNews]

17. I'll take RFK Jr. for 400, Alex

Kennedy for VP - he's the man for me!:)

[RB TexLa]

18. I still think it will be Clinton-Bayh

[Catshrink]

19. The anti-Dick.

[951-Riverside]

20. Conan O'Brien

O'Bama/O'Brien

[Generic Brad]

21. John Edwards

He would be a nice contrast to the evil overlord who has held the post for the past seven plus years.

[and-justice-for-all]

22. Feingold or Biden is fine with me...nt

[shenmue]

28. John Conyers

A few others would also be acceptable, but he's my favorite.
