Yes its early and the race aint over and a lot of people hate these kind of threads and i just heard about this guy, but from what ive been reading and seeing he seems like the real deal, an authentic nice guy with a good head on his shoulders. Any thoughts?

1. Good guy, but might be an issue for "international/foreign policy experience". nt

2. I figure he can just bring in a sec of state whos got all that. For Veep....
i think the person should accentuate the strengths of Obama while bringing something new, kinda like clinton/gore.

I think people are overplaying the foreign policy cred needed for the VP position, especially when considering that the economy will remain the #1 issue in the fall.

7. It does sound like an ointment doesnt it?
It reminds me of nupercainal, an anti-hemorrhoidal cream we have up here in Canada.

I think I'm missing a reference. I haven't followed wrestling since Haystacks Calhoun and Chief Jay Strongbow were popular.

13. I think Mark Warner is the Golden Goose, if he can run for both the Senate and VP slot
then Kane can appoint his replacement Senator. (that is of course if Va gov are allowed to appoint Senators, I'm not sure what that states rules are.)
