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?

For me the deal breaker

For me the deal breaker would be Hillary Clinton. I think that would be brown-nosing to the extreme. Let her become president on her own merits, not as a bone thrown to her to pacify the DLC right-wing democrats.

Chuck Hagel is pretty high on my list, even if he is a Republican.
