Obama's Top VP Choices

By talkleft

Via Huffington Post, here are Obama's current top choices for Vice President:

Top Tier:

  • Jim Webb
  • Hillary Clinton
  • Bill Richardson
  • Joe Biden
  • Brian Schwietzer

Worth Watching:

  • Janet Napolitano
  • Sherrod Brown
  • Chuck Hagel
  • Wesley Clark
  • Kathleen Sebelius
  • Tom Daschle

Honorable Mention:

  • Michael Bloomberg

Aside from Hillary and Wes Clark, not a star among them. If Joe Biden, Chuck Hagel or career prosecutor turned Governor Janet Napolitano make the grade, I'll be rethinking my support the Democratic ticket. If it's Hillary, Clark, or Richardson, he keeps my vote.

Are any a dealbreaker for you?

Will Thomas at HuffPost and

Will Thomas at HuffPost and Jeralyn Merritt at TalkLeft must be smoking the same weed as Chris Matthews and friends, to imagine Hillary Clinton on the list.

Earth to Mars: (a) Whoever Obama picks will not be Hillary Clinton; (b) Obama is not dealing with us, necessity is. If Obama picks none other than Satan as his running mate, which he very well might, it will remain necessary to vote for Obama and work from there. That's how bad the situation is in which we find ourselves. I don't like it, but that's how necessity works.
