The Veep Thread

Iceland will organize a malevolent geothermal cartel, EFPEC*, which will bring the world to its knees once fossil fuel is exhausted. Where can I go burn my Bjork CDs now?

*-Earth Fart Producing and Exporting Countries

 

Always waiting for an opening for this.

 

I'd much rather be attacked by Norway or Iceland, I think.

 

I just got convinced: Chuck Hagel.

Ted Strickland as a runner-up.

 

I don't see McCain picking Huckabee...

Romney I could see. It would please the Republican base who don't think McCain is conservative enough. It would also put Romney in a good position to run in 2012 if McCain only stays one term. It would also explain why Romney bowed out so gracefully so early on.

I agree that on the democrat side that it won't be Richardson. If Hillary wants it, I'm guessing she could muscle her way in, but I don't think she wants it.

Biden would be a great choice, but unfortunately, that will never happen.

 

I don't see how picking a Republican helps Obama and that assumes Hagel would say yes in the first place.
My rank would be: Strickland, Wesley Clark and then Hillary.

 

The way the Obama campaign has been astute in going after delegates, I wouldn't be surprised if the VP choice doesn't come from a "key" state, or "balance" the ticket in a conventional sense, but turns out to be someone nobody has talked about and eventually a brilliant choice. You might get a Veep from one state who plays better in a different state than anyone from that state.

 

What about Bea Arthur???

As far a the GOP VP - I still want Lieberman, but I'll settle for Sarah Palin!

 

Here's Obama's best choice (at least from the names I have heard floated out there...)

Obama should pick Rendell

 

They would look like Laurel and Hardy together

 

I guess that wouldn't work then. I actually liked Laurel and Hardy.
