Veepstakes

I'm trying, so help me I am, not to get as emotionally involved in this years election as I did in 2004. I'm an Obama guy, no doubt about that, but I'm setting myself the expectation that we will be forced to endure at least another 4 years of Republican rule.

Whatever

Sometime before tomorrow is over we will know Barack's running mate, and no one inspires great confidence in me in terms of their ability to overcome the McCain low blow machine. In no particular order:

Tim Kaine - seems like a nice guy, but relative lack of experience will be chum for the Repubs
Evan Bayh - a safe and sane choice
Joe Biden - I like Biden, he brings what is needed, but I'm not sure he is the best fit
Bill Richardson - I don't think America is ready for a black and a hispanic on the same ticket
Kathleen Sebelius - Replace "hispanic" in the above line with "woman"
Chris Dodd - honestly, just too weird looking
Hillary Clinton - what, are you out of your fucking mind?

If I'm placing money on this, I'm putting $2 on Biden. And I'm covering myself by placing another $2 on Bayh.

As for the Republicans, Leiberman would be the most interesting because it would cause Ann Coulter's head to explode, which would be a very good thing indeed. My money is on Mitt Romney, as it appears that Satan himself has taken his name out of the running.
