If you're so desperate for Obama to immolate himself, Ed, and you really want put the millstone of a running mate who frequently sides with Republicans against their own party around Obama's neck, Joe Lieberman might be available.
Apart from a voting record startlingly like Hillary's, Joe also shares her penchant for putting his own ambition above the interests of the Democratic party and his constituents. He's demonstrated the same spiteful urge to punish the Democrats for their "crime" of rejecting him. He talks the same warmongering trash as Hillary when it comes to the Middle East. And he's got experience dribbling out of his withered butt - far more experience than Hillary has!
True, Joe's lips are firmly planted on McCain's ass (having recently been surgically separated from George W. Bush's tuchis). But then, Hillary's a big McCain ass-kisser too:

"I have a lifetime of experience I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he made in 2002." - Hillary Clinton (supposedly D-NY) ad nauseum, whenever there was a reporter or a camera within 100 feet of her
Don't forget that in the 2000 general election Joe got millions more votes than Hillary did in the primaries! Of course, that "18 million votes" metric is pure bullshit anyway. Does anyone really believe that the vast majority of those Democratic voters won't come over to Obama rather than McCain? The idea is as ridiculous as the notion that winning a state in the primaries means that the candidate will win it in the general election too. But don't let that stop you, Ed! Keep trying to force Hillary down our throats!
Idiot.
