Is there a VP pick who would NOT be saddled with these problems?
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 09:14 PM by Sparkly
Evidently, we're in for a ticket with a VP who has one or more problems:

1. No national security, foreign policy, or military experience

OR

2. Voted "yes" on the IWR, taking away the rationale for Obama's campaign on "judgment."

AND/OR

3. In addition, it may be someone who doesn't help in the south, and/or someone who pisses off the Clinton supporters, and/or someone who's a long-term "Washington Insider."...

(Disclaimer: Yes, I'm voting for the ticket. I would prefer a ticket with the best possible chance of winning.)

4. Well....
I did have him in mind.

Is there anybody else who doesn't carry any of these negatives?

7. Is there any evidence at all that Obama and Clark
have any kind of working relationship or rapport that would lead to his serious consideration for VP?

Supposedly Kerry advised Obama this was essential to an effective VP/Pres partnership and something which he completely lacked with Edwards.

9. That's what I thought.
Yet a day doesn't go by without someone on DU proposing an Obama//Clark
ticket.
