John doesn't want the VP spot again, and I don't blame him. I saw him on one of the morning shows today, and he said he is really just interested in working on anti-poverty now. I like him very much. I think he should be part of Obama's administration.

I've got a few names in my head for the VP spot: Richardson (who is smart and experienced and very ethical), Bob Graham (ex-Governor of Florida (and people love him here), ex-co-Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, he was one of the few who voted against the Iraq war), Diane Feinstein, Joe Biden, Patrick Leahy - there are a lot of good people out there.

Yup, I don't know the last time we've had such a good pool of candidates. ~i&b

I'm a big Edwards fan, but think this is smart. It might sound too much like "Kerry-Edwards." Give John a cabinet position!

I agree completely. I'm thinking Obama may go for Bill Richardson in order to court the Hispanic vote and limit McCain's draw in the Southwest. ~i&b
