Clueless on Obama. I have to own up to the fact that I don't have much of an idea concerning Obama's VP selection and don't have much of an idea of how he's thinking about the issue either.
Sebelius, Biden, Tom Kaine, Evan Bayh--they've all objectionable. Sebelius, Kaine, and Bayh are all relatively non-partisan moderates. Outside Sebelius being a female candidate, who's going to get excited about any of them.
As for Biden, talk about the politics of the past! Biden peaked in 1988. Maybe Biden would be better than the faceless moderates, but that's not saying much.
As a "moderate with a face," Obama obviously is not thinking of other moderates as "faceless."
So I'm clueless.
But I'm hardly alone in my cluelessness.
McCain and the Lieberman Factor. It's easier with McCain. I'm quite certain that John McCain wants Joe Lieberman to be his vice-presidential candidate and is deciding whether he's willing to take the Republican Party blowback from nominating Lieberman. If McCain decides that he can get away with nominating Lieberman, I think it will be Lieberman. If McCain decides to go with a conventional Republican, it will probably be Tim Pawlenty. I can see Mitt Romney as having a chance as well.
But it's all about Lieberman now.

Who knows about Obama's VP. What about all the talk behind the scenes that Hillary is still in the picture?
Don't the pundits have it Hillary, Biden then Bayh to get the White, Middle-working class vote? Hillary, of course, would help with the women's vote. It could be someone completely different.
We all will have to wait and see.
Obama should pick one of those senators from North Dakota as VP. They both have a populous bent and would balance him out even if nobody has a clue who they are.
