The Illinois senator says, "Yes, we can," but he won't make it to the White House without the right running mate. Which veep would you pick?
  • So Who Wants It?

    A big issue may be who is willing to run for VP. Some of these people may not, if they think (as some probably do) that Obama doesn't have a particularly good chance of winning. Also, Sen. Webb, while good on paper, has a major personality problem and should be rejected out of hand. Sebelius, being female, might not give an adequate appearance of the necessary "toughness," although she seems good otherwise. Richardson is too mealy-mouthed and also has a "toughness" problem. Clark would probably be a good choice despite some personality deficits, but I think there's some question whether he'd be willing to do it.
