Senator Barack Obama’s choice for Democratic Vice President is…

most probably from the list below:

• Senator Joe Biden
• Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana and
• Virginia Govenor Tim Kaine

Along with the following contenders:

• General Wesley Clark
• New York Senator Hillary Clinton
• Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd
• Texas Representative Chet Edwards
• Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel
• Former Georgia Senator Sam Nunn
• Rhode Island Senator Jack Reed
• New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson
• Kansas Govenor Kathleen Sebelius

Joe Biden, while well-known, is too boring for the VP selection.  Not for VP, but for the presidential campaign.   His selection would take Obama down too many notches in energy. Additionally, there is a reason why Biden never gets far in his presidential bids. Out.

Evan Bayh was too pro-Iraq war.  He would look silly in the debates and will have difficulty reconciling his pro-war stance with the press and the Republicans. The Saturday campaign stop in Indiana is a ruse to confuse. Out.

Tim Kaine, too young, too new, the lack of experience question will hurt in the campaign. The president and vice president have 6 years total national experience? We don’t think so. Out.

From the remaining list Sebelius is interesting as a woman, Reed as a conservative, and Nunn as a hawk.

We think at the end of the day this is about winning the election and the best, most well known, experienced politician and campaigner, is Hillary Clinton.  She can carry more states and more votes, she will pull women and latinos.

The details of working together in office will get worked out.  Right now there is an election to win.
