Obama's Veep Choice: Arrogant, Ignorant, Silly, Scary, or Boring?

in

My take on Obama's potential veeps:

Joe Biden--What a loudmouth! This guy personifies the unlikable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that In 1991 he said George H.W. Bush was sending a generation of Americans to their death in the Persian Gulf (total deaths were around 300). He then flipped and voted for the recent war in 2002, eventually flipping again. Just recently he said the "bad guys" weren't in Iraq. He has foreign policy cred, but if foreign policy is the issue Obama loses anyway. Plus, he's from an irrelevant blue state.

Tim Kaine--Based on what I heard this guy is just as bad as Obama on the experience front. His attempts to kiss up to BO by claiming that the Russians were following his calls for a ceasefire should have disqualified him by now.

Bill Richardson--Richardson has executive and foreign policy experience. Too bad he doesn't act like he does. This man was almost as unlikable as Joe Biden during the primaries, and his inability to shut up during the debates turned me off faster than Obama's lame excuses. He's from a swing state, but I doubt McCain will get the Hispanic support neccessary to win New Mexico anyway.

Hillary Clinton--What contest in Hell do we have to win to get an Obama-Hillary ticket? I think this could scare off as many independents as Democrats it could attract. If she wanted him to win she wouldn't have dragged on the primary race until June. But really, what's in it for Hillary? She wouldn't be able to run in 2012 and would get part blame when Obama inevitably screws up. She'd be better off as Senate Majority leader where she could look bipartisan by opposing Barry's excesses.

Evan Bayh--He co-sponsored the Iraq War but he could just say he was tricked by Bush/Cheney and most people would swallow it whole. Besides that, there's really no downside to Obama, and Bayh would give him a good shot at taking Indiana. A boring white guy who is considered a centrist is just what Obama needs to balance the ticket.
