I would totally vote for him but he's not going to make it out of the Republican primaries and he said if he doesn't he wouldn't run as an independent. Basically, I'm not going to be able to vote for him.

Obama on the other hand has a realistic chance of winning the primary. We'll just have to see if he can beat Hilary.

As for Gore, his time is up. I don't get why the fuck people want him to run. That ship has sailed. Time to move on.

Good points. I don't think Gore should run, I just have this feeling he and Newt will enter the fray this fall. Could be wrong though.

I think I should accept that McCain is done now so I must look elsewhere. Who would be the VP on your Obama ticket?

I think I would make a great VP therefore I should be on his ticket. No seriously, I don't know but I would get excited about Harold Ford Jr. Anyone ethical and with great character would do though.

Practically speaking though, could a Obama-Ford ticket realistically win though? Don't you think a relative novice like Obama would need someone like maybe a Joe Biden to balance out his ticket and cover a wider base?

That way of thinking did us a lot of good with Chaney as the VP. Then you have Kerry coming out now saying he should have listened to his gut feeling and shouldn't have picked Edwards.

My ideal ticket is not a realistic ticket for reasons quite obvious...lol. It would be a mistake for Biden to leave the senate for a VP position, that would be a demotion for him. I don't like the idea of picking a senator as a VP. He should probably pick a governor. Who? I don't know yet.

Yeah I hear what you're saying. What about Mark Warner?

Hmmm, Warner is probably not red state pedigreed. It's really tough to come up worth VP candidates right now but I would think as we approach the primaries some of these names will surface.

I'm glad to see you come over to the Obama camp. He's definitely within striking distance of Hillary.

By the way, don't be suprised to see Obama and Edwards on the same ticket.
