Sounds harmless, Sam, but were I Obama, I wouldn't want him on the ticket -- too iffy. Does anyone read this publication? I mean, anyone in a position to advise the candidates? He needs someone like a Mitt Romney.

I think the perfect partner for Obama would be Wesley Clark, a four star general with a couple of grey hairs wouldn't hurt him....For McCain, I think he should be trying to solidify Florida or ensuring that OH stays with the Republicans...
It doesn't matter, it's either a lib democrat or a moderate one. As usual, the lesser of two lessers.

Article- "Barack Obama’s vice presidential vetting team will undoubtedly run across some quirky and potentially troublesome issues as it goes about the business of scouring the backgrounds of possible running mates. But it’s unlikely they’ll find one so curious as Virginia Democratic Sen. Jim Webb’s affinity for the cause of the Confederacy.
Webb is no mere student of the Civil War era. He’s an author, too, and he’s left a trail of writings and statements about one of the rawest and most sensitive topics in American history...."
...do the Demos have a Confederate (or 'Neo-Confederate') Litmus Test?

It was not merely patriotism, it was a high stroke of policy. It has saved the Government, and what they will regard as equally important, saved them from a great financial disaster."
Both sides need the black vote. Carrying the CBF on the ticket is not a good idea. Look at Trent Lott for an example.

Absolutely, both sides understand that an election is really just a massive popularity contest (it shouldn't be, but it is)......They have to make sure, run it through internal polls, etc. because at the end of the day both sides want their VP to increase their chances.....

Ohh, come on! LIVE A LITTLE!
The Dream Ticket would be OBAMA-HUCKABEE 2008.
This would be the original UNION, as it were, originally...
He needs a Right Hook to go with that Left Jab!
The country represented, as it is, right now, demographically... All those Black Confederates voting at once, with their White brothers... and Left and Right
Blacks voting the same ballot? The Can't Stand Hillaries voting with the
Sign of the Southern Cross? It would be a Reaganesque landslider!
