VeeP

I’m liking John Edwards or Tom Daschle for Obama’s VP right now. Obama said this week that he is looking for a partner who can be President, if necessary, and a great adviser. Chris Matthews points out that Obama also needs someone who doesn’t make him look like the naive youngster. I think Edwards and Daschle meet all these criteria, particularly the third–even though both men are older than he, Edwards slightly and Daschle by about 13 years.

Though Daschle is very much a boomer, he’s cool as hell and doesn’t look like an old fogy next to Obama. Edwards, I believe, has the fortitude to implement a populous legislative agenda. Both men are extremely intelligent, can call it like they see it, yet are also team players. And both, I believe, would deliver key constituencies. What do you think?

    I’ve been hoping for an Obama/Edwards ticket for many moons.
    I absolutely love that Edwards has staked his entire political future on caring for the poor.

    I too would love Obama/Edwards – I just shudder at the Webb & Rendell choices though.
