    It will not be Hillary

    Obama will pick the person who gives the Democrats strategic electoral votes and/or someone high character/low baggage who gives ease to those people who are "uncomfortable" voting for a black man. and I've heard people say it.

    It will be a white, southern man. Probably a highly decorated soldier. Any guesses?
