If Obama is running a truly different kind of campaign, looking for a truly different kind of leadership, he needs to pick a vice president that sets that tone.

George Clooney
...
Clooney is politically savvy. He helped to create Not on Our Watch, a group trying to focus attention and resources for Darfur. "Three Kings," "Good Night, and Good Luck," and "Syriana" are all politically knowledgable films. And they are certainly more relevant than "Bedtime for Bonzo." And he's already a Obama supporter.
...
If Republicans come back with "well, he's just an actor," all Democrats have to say is Ronald Reagan. Clooney is smarter, more politically knowledgeable, more talented as an actor, and according to a few women, better looking than Reagan.

I highly doubt that Obama would tap Clooney as his VP choice. But heck, it would certainly make the GE much more entertaining to watch, and Clooney would be a much better VP than Quayle, Cheney, or whomever McCain picks.

Dreaming is still free as I recall! Plus, I think that much like his, "O Brother Where Art Thou" character, he has a slight gift of gab!
