    Yes he can...

    Do better than these two...Joe Biden for one...Sen Webb for another, but Webb says "No"...Sen Jack Reed is a peach, but he's not nearly the "attack dog" that's needed...if BOH thinks he needs the Indiana electoral votes, he might spring for Evan Bayh and help himself with the Hillary crowd...Hagel is likely the new secretary of defense if BOH is successful...Kaine doesn't really bring much to the table IMHO...my money's on Biden...
