Obama's Top VP Choices
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?

I have two thoughts on Obama's latest strategy.
1. The comments about Moveon.org were probably done at the request of the Clintons. Obama probably had to negotiate pretty hard and make some concessions if he was going to get Hillary to help him.
2. The over cautious democratic campaign strategists that have given us the stiff and woody Al Gore and John Kerry were backing Hillary. She has the same scripted, boring delivery we saw from the last two democratic presidential candidates. Obama was fresh and stood out. Now those people are freed up and probably shifted over to help Obama. The "professionals" are polishing him off. Look at how much better Gore speaks now that he is away from those people.
