Who's your pick for Obama's VP? Mine is Jim Webb.

I know some people might not like this, but I find the idea of Chuck Hagel as VP as extremely compelling.
jim webb is fucking awesome. straight shooter, tells it like it is, unvarnished. that might be my dream ticket, too.
that said, i don't think he'll pick'em b/c:
1) pres and vp both from the senate just doesn't happen. for one, the dems will lose a senator from a red state, and then there's no executive (i.e. govenor) experience on the ticket.
2) webb hasn't been in politics long enough. he's a first term senator, like obama
Jim Webb or Kathleen Sibelius. Bill Richardson would be a great Secretary of State, but he brings nothing to Obama's ticket. Chuck Hagel is a pipe dream.
SRB: The governor of Virginia, Tim Kaine, is a Democrat. Virginia is getting to be quite purple these days.
@centro, yeah, you're right. with the dc suburbs, it sure is.
I like Edwards, but he's proven repeatedly to be a mediocre campaigner. He's got the Two Americas thing, and then... uh... great hair.
