Reply #10: I think Webb and Kaine, for different reasons, are Obama's best picks

[OmahaBlueDog]

Webb provides unassailable anti-war credentials; it's hard to argue an ex Reagan Sec-Navy is just some lefty peacenik who hates America.

Kaine, although Catholic, would draw some evangelicals (who are not enamored with McSame) to at least consider Obama -- or reinforce their instinct to stay home.

Richardson could be a good pick, but he brings no defense credentials and will reinforce the "too far left" label.

Nunn is a has-been. He'd have been a great choice in '88 or '92, but he's been out of the game a very long time. If you are going down that road, go get Bob Graham -- at least we'd have a shot in Florida.
