Perhaps Obama should name his Treasury Secretary.
Perhaps that would grab Momentum and steal the economics issue for good.

I have no idea who it would be, but someone with a reassuring manner and a track record would go an awful long way toward attracting many kinds of people.

5. Very stupid in my opinion
If you put a person's name out there to grab attention, then you would give the McCain camp some ammo to go after the guy and find some dirt on him.

We can not afford to be distracted from the real message. The Obama/Biden team are bringing that message home very effectively.

9. there's always that risk....
...but they are going to make stuff up about any Democrat, any time. We can't stop that. If it were a stellar choice, it wouldn't matter.

6. John Breaux.
Obama wants to move beyond partisanship. Breaux would be swell.
