    VP Choice

    I think Obama should choose GWB as a runing mate: they are both

    "uniters" which want to break with the "old divisions" and work

    accross the aisle. Of course BO will be able to find a compromise

    that pleases his VP and the reps so that it can be passed.

    BO is the smartest politician I have seen in many many years.

    And he is a politician indeed. He beats Bill Clinton and Tony Blair by far in the art of triangulization. We'll have a united country alright but forget about Democratic values: for those you have to fight and this is something in which BO certainly does not believe in.
