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?

None of these are dealbreakers

Some are just not very good choices. Napolitano and Sebelius are probably the worst i've seen yet. They don't compliment Obama at all.

Frankly, it doesn't take a genius to see that Joe Biden is the absolute best pick for Obama. Absolutely no candidate in this election, with no exceptions had more experience and knowledge in both domestic and foreign affairs.

Some would argue that Hillary Clinton would give Obama the white catholic vote, citing her popularity in Pennsylvania.

Joe Biden is a white catholic from Scranton PA who talks straight to people and is the furthest thing from an elitist washington insider. He doesn't even LIVE in washington. If he made it as far as PA in the primaries, he would have blown both Clinton and Obama away.
