Sounds like Tim Kaine

Will the Democrats in Congress have the USA buying oil from Russia?

His ideals of what a Prsident’s job is are misconstrued. The President is not involved in domestic affairs and was never meant to. I would advise Mr. Obama to go back to his High School civics course and learn what a president actually has the power to do, and what they don’t.

Obama/Biden ‘08

I never thought Obama would go bipartisan on a VP.

American-Basher Socialists Nanny Party sooooooo generous with OUR money. McCAIN/ROMNEY 2008! Fox you had a great show on McCain tonight, what a MAN & great hero!!!! As opposed to the Europpeaser party metroflexibles. We missed O’Reilly’s show though.

Interesting that Obama’s qualifications for VP concentrate on helping US citizens to get through their current economic woes: protecting middle class citizens who are suffering from inflation plus the loss of homes and jobs. But expertize in foreign policy, health issues, protecting the environment, and security are not mentionned.

Huhhh, he’s tall, has a deep voice, plays a harpsichord, and was the Adams Family butler. Thats right, John Kerry.

Obama forgot to add EXPERIENCE, as Obama has none. As he said in 1996, he” will NOT run in 2008″ as he “does NOT have the experience.” It may be one of the only truthful comments from him to date.

Chet Edwards is the man Obama describes!

Who knows. To be honest I rarely use “he or she”, I find it unnecessary to do that. Anyway, I believe he is picking a male and I don’t see that it would be a problem. I also believe McCain will pick a male. I’m a bit surprised his choice hasn’t been made yet since he was the presumptive nominee long before Obama.

I would like to see Joe Biden as VP!

Go Obama go! Whoever you pick as your VP you’ve got my vote. The Bush-Cheney and Republican era is over!

Seems a bit odd that Obama wants to go bipartisan on his VP. It may be difficult to find a Republican who would risk the embarrassment of degradation.

[...] [...]

Sounds like Hillary to me even tho he referred to “he” through out the message.

Just deal with it people. Obama is going to be your president and who cares who he picks for VP cause they’re going to be your VP.

He forgets to mention that the economy has only taken a dive since the democrats have been running the senate for the last two years. Before that the USA was doing just fine…check the facts.

Hmmm that new Obomanation book is a number one best seller so we’ll see how many more copies are sold to tell the people about this pretender. If the democrats have been in charge of the senate for the last two years….what have they done except help to bankrupt the country? Two years ago we were just fine.

I really couldn’t care if Obama selected a monkey for his vice president; let’s just focus on cycling out the most selfish and indulged generation in history out of political power. I can only hope that history gives the boomers their just deserts once social security collapses and we really get to take a good strong look at what our parents and grandparents have really done for us and this country because they didn’t want to pay a -little- more taxes.

Obama/Bubbles 08!

Obama has more experience then both Ronald Reagan, and Eisenhower had before they were elected. If Reagan and Eisenhower had enough experience then Obama sure does considering the fact that he has more then them.

Response to “Craig”
The housing market falling apart and the financial crises started before the 2006 election. Wages were pretty much stagnant before 2006. So how about you check your facts before you spew total nonsense.

Obama doesn’t really need a economic expert as VP because compared to McCain Obama’s economic policies triumph. NAFTA for example, McCain is content with keeping the status quo, while Obama will renegotiate NAFTA in order to make the conditions more beneficial for America. McCain won’t even try to help our economy… Maybe because McCain says the economy is perfectly fine, that we are better off then 8 years ago and that we are all just whiners. I’ll tell you something McCain you were the one whining and being childish about Obama’s popularity, not Americans.
Then Obama’s health care plan actually improves health care unlike the McCain-Bush plan that just increases prices, taxes and decreases quality. Obama unlike Bush and McCain isn’t bought by Drug special interests; Obama will fight to negotiate Medicare Drug costs saving us 30 Billion a year. Obama’s plan also moves us to electronic record keeping saving us around 70 Billion a year. All the Bush-McCain plan does is remove more efficient cheaper group health plans in order to remove the non tax on it.

coming from a locale where folks don’t normatively speak their mind so freely, if at times glibly,
i am jazzed by all the points of view
a sort of cornucopia galore of mindfulness

just the meanness at times can be quite like a boxing match

whomsoever he picks
will help him start a new wave new way

Biden would be grand

I think Obama having someone who is strong on the economic would highlight his qualities rather well. Obama’s economic policies are great; removing taxes for small business that account for the majority of employment and economic growth, increase business incubators which are proven ways to expand small business and economic growth. Obama’s tax simplification plan would be amazing it would save the government 10 Billion a year and save tax payers millions in man hours. McCain has no such plan and just wants to waste your billions of dollars and all your hours. Obama would cut taxes for companines not shipping jobs over seas, and for the Middle Class, while McCain will give hundreds of Billions to companines sending your jobs to China.

To Everett:

“Baby boomer” is a term used to describe a person who was born during the Post-World War II baby boom between 1946 and the early 1960s.

Obama was born in 1961. So, like George W. B. and Bill C., Barack O. is a boomer.

Advice to those who say the Senate was responsible for the recession: track the news well and learn economics. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

FoxNews, your forgot to add what Obama Really said…be fair and balance
Obama went on to describe what he was NOT looking for in a running mate, painting a stark contrast with Cheney, who spearheaded President George W. Bush’s energy task force, influences White House foreign policy, including the Iraq war, and has claimed to be a member of the legislative branch because of his tie-breaking role in the U.S. Senate.

“I won’t hand over my energy policy to my vice president,” Obama said. “I won’t have my vice president engineering my foreign policy for me.”

Moving on to the qualities he did want, Obama said, “I want somebody who has integrity, who’s in politics for the right reasons. I want somebody who is … independent, somebody who is able to say to me, ‘You know what, Mr. President? I think you’re wrong on this and here’s why.’”

Biden is a foreign policy man. Although he may fit Obi’s criteria, it would be strange for him not to allude to this man’s primary strength. Both Bayh and Kaine appeal to his alleged desire for an independent thinker: Kaine’s social views are vastly different from those of Barrack Obama, and Bayh was an important supporter of HRC. However, Obi did not mention what I believe to be Kaine’s primary strength as a potential VP: Kaine has stated repeatedly that he would be reluctant to leave his job as governor of Virginia, and this kind of loyalty would make Kaine very desirable as a potential running mate. In spite of some of Kaine’s attractive qualities, I consider Bayh a strong contender, largely due to his apparently proactive support of rebuilding the middle-class.

It will be Biden for sure! He’s mad as hell, articulate, cares deeply and passionately about so many issues, is incredibly intelligent and well-spoken, and won’t hold back if he disagrees with Barack. It’s our time and it’s Joe’s time too! Anyone else would be a disappointment to me, I have to say.

Still, I trust my guy and he’s got my vote. Barack is the total package; what he doesn’t know, he has the forethought and wisdom to gather together the smartest, most experienced people to assist and support him in his leadership role and policy-building. Yes, we are the people we’ve been waiting for and it’s all coming together quite nicely. I am so proud to be part of this period in history.

As for experience, remember Barack’s quote of MLK. Unlike Hillary who waited out a run when she should not have in 2004 (to save us from a second term of Bush and all his demented ignorance), Barack is running now b/c of what MLK called, “The fierce urgency of now!” I totally admire him for knowing that we need strong leadership and someone who will listen to the people so that the govt is for the people, by the people, and of the people. Barack knows we need leadership now, that we can’t wait. He’s ignited a movement that is greater than all of us and we are finally going to get on the right track, save our country, but more importantly save our planet.

Let’s get to work folks!

Good lord, Suzy! The only reason the Corsi “Unfit for Publication” (as Obama’s rebuttal booklet calls it) book is on the bestseller list is b/c right wing groups are buying it up in bulk. This has been proven. If you look at the NYTimes Bestseller list, you’ll see a check mark or little flag beside the book (can’t recall right now -sorry), that identifies it as a book that is being bought up in bulk, not by individuals. It’s chock full of lies and half truths and Obama has rebutted in a 40+ page booklet. Do you only watch Fox?? Oh, how sad.

Obama is the best thing to come along to change the direction our country is going in and create working, enduring, and peaceful relationships with other countries. No it won’t be easy, not if we all decide to believe the lies about him and vote in McCain, an old, ignorant, desperate man who is being led by the likes of Karl Rove and others. Enough already. Go to msnbc.com and catch some of Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Educate yourself, I beg you!

Biden is the MAN… and it’s gonna take years to clean up after the hole that Monkey Boy and Darth Vader dug !

Sounds just like Joe Biden to me. Or Sam Nunn.

I think is Al Gore

Ever heard the saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks?” There’s no way a 70+ year old man is going to change anything except his viagra dosage. Step aside and let the next generation fix all the problems you boomers created.

Don’t jump to conclusions, Obubble still has to get by the DNC and ya know old Hillary is still going to fight for the nomination, wait and see. I still can’t believe people as still so stupid to belive the line of BS from Obubble, get a life, wake up and look around. Like Craig said “check the facts” don’t be stupid all your life…

wow, i think obama’s referring to hillary!

I agree with everyone that commented that it doesn’t matter who Obama picks. It’s time for a change and he is the only candidate that will bring it to us. I’ve been living overseas for the past 7 years and it’s truly unbelievable how much the image of the U.S. has went down. I know that most of you will say that it doesn’t matter what the rest of the world thinks of us but I hate to inform you that it honestly does matter. Especially when the rest of the world covering our debt (mainly China). And can someone explain to me why I keep hearing from the Bush/McCain machine that Obama has no experience and he doesn’t know anything about foreign policy but they turn around and do exactly what he’s been saying (meets with Iran and are now talking about time tables). The last time I checked if someone doesn’t know what they’re talking about, you tend to not do what they say.

Obama and Whoever for VP.

Two years ago we were just fine? Hmmm, why do you suppose the republican mascot is an elephant, you know, that creature that is supposed to have a long memory?

Just as a reminder:

By the end of bush’s first term discretionary spending rose a whopping 48.5 percent. While there was a net job loss in the U.S. with numbers in the millions making him the only commander-in-chief since Depression-era President Herbert Hoover to earn such a distinction. Indeed by then the economy had been hemorrhaging an average of 93,000 jobs monthly between March 2001 and March 2003

By 2003 Inflation-adjusted median household income had been flat while the nation’s poverty rate increased.

By 2004, under the Bush Administration, real GDP had grown at an average annual rate of 2.5 percent,considerably below the average for business cycles from 1949 to 2000.

On January 15th 2004, the Outstanding Public Debt jumped $13 billion to $7,001,852,607,623.35. This was the first time in history the U.S. National Debt surpassed the $7 trillion mark and came less than two years after the Debt first passed $6 trillion.

The national debt was raised in May 2003 by a record $984 billion. Since Bush entered office in January 2001, the debt limit has been increased by more than $1.4 trillion.

Not to mention we were, and are still throwing billions away every month in an entirely unnecessary military occupation in Iraq. And folks, this is just the tip of the iceberg that has been threatening to sink us ever since.

I want to hear more from my third party candidate Ralph Nader on Fox News. You guys at Fox News are NOT covering all the candidates. There are Americans out there that want NOTHING to do with either McCain or Obama. The third party candidates need a voice. What’s Fox News afraid of, your corporate boogie man. The third party candidates would grow in the polls if the media would get out of love with Obama. America needs TRUE change to get us out of this mess. GO THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES!!!!

==============================================================
NEAT

SWEET

PETITE

He wants someone who is mad at what America is today? He is going to have a hard time finding that person within the Washington circle or his own circle of associates. It is a heyday for the politician - either side. No one is in touch with what the average American faces.

Obama has no solutions. What is he going to do to increase jobs? What is he going to do to control the cost of fuel, which in turn will control the cost of foods and products? What is he going to do about the chain the middle east has around our necks in regard to oil? $1000 tax credit coming from the profits of the wealthy who provide jobs to the poor and the middle class is so far off base - it’s not going to do a thing to ease the burden of high oil prices - and it will almost immediately increase unemployment because it will decrease the profits of those who can employ people. Windfall Profits Tax = a disaster. Corporations don’t pay taxes, people do. If the price of producing oil goes up, we pay more at the pump.

Obama needs to select someone who can explain economic, foreign affairs, the true blight of the middle class family to him so he understands.

Obama could be saying “he” to throw the people off track. Biden with his big mouth would be the wrong choice. Bayh, Kathleen, Kaine, Nunn, Richardson, Kerry would not make the best VP’s because the don’t have the know how to be one. They should stay in the position they have now. I only hope it isn’t Kerry, Biden or Kathleen because he is sure to lose the election. Hillary is the best choice no matter what comment’s are made about her. She has more experience than all of them and can be ready to take over if he becomes ill or something else happens. Hillary is more qualified than Obama himself who lacks everything in the political field. He never won a debate and lost the forum interview. He hesitates too much and can’t answer quick. On the platform he does fine because he practiced from the speeches of JFK, RFK and MLK. He used many of their words and just added a few of his own. For a Harvard graduate he certainly has the public fooled.

It is amazing to me that there are so many ‘criteria’ for a good VP choice and non of them seem to consider the most important one. That the VP is but one tragedy away from being the president. Seems like this should take precedent over who can help a candidate win a particular state, or appeal to a specific demographic. He She Color Governor Senator age etc,who cares. What matters is can this person be an effective president. Lets re-think our priorities people.

So Obama wants people who can disagree with him? You mean like Joe Liebermann? Someone who Obama verbal attacked on the floor of the senate for his support of McCain.

You mean that kind of exceptance of disagreement? Yeah right.

The previous people who mentioned that the economy has become worse the past two years seem to be on to something. If you remember gas was expensive two years ago, but it was not nearly as high as it is now. I also was not hearing how bad the economy was every single day. I think a large part of it is the media’s desire to paint Bush and the Republicans as the worst people ever so their Democrats can get back in office.

McCain / Huckabee ‘08
Gov. Mike Huckabee

The reason obama needs a VP with experience, competence, honesty and executive ability is as simple and basic as it gets: he needs to balance his ticket.

Obama forgot to add EXPERIENCE, as Obama has none. As he said in 1996, he” will NOT run in 2008″ as he “does NOT have the experience.” It may be one of the only truthful comments from him to date.

——————————————————————————————–

Reminded me of the ” I think Clarence Thomas didn’t have the right exper….ugh ugh mmm well qualities I was looking for…um.”

I’m done with the dems. Look at Congress and the Senate, totally falling apart. Obamama is a an empty suit. Wake up read the facts. He is a liar. He lies about so much of his past and background. btw Why haven’t we heard from his old friend Dorothy Tillman?

Im sure it will be another choice candidate.As for the uninformed indivigual on social socurity,Facts show every year they steal ss to pay off debt.If the theives from ss paid ss what they stold ss would be just fine.

I would Not vote for Obama even if you could bring back some of nation’s greatest leaders from the dead to serve with him and advise him.

Man, this guy rambles and loves to hear himself talk…ahh, ahh, ahh. I thought you got A’s in speeches and communicating for not saying ahh, ahh! The media says he is a great at communicating…excuse me! I never know for sure his position after he is finished with his long winded answers.

HE needs a VP who knows what the words “yes” and “no” mean, so the VP can translate to the lowly Americans what this arrogant man is trying to convey.

Better not be that backstabbing Evan Bayh. He is a two-faced snake that will lie to your face for votes. Ask the alcohol distributors that got him in the governor’s mansion that he completely lied and stabbed in the back days after he takes office. He is a disgrace.

The “Mad” comments in Obama’s description of an ideal VEEP just makes me invision Rep. Wexler (D-Fl)……the fist pounder and screamer at the RBC promoting Obama’s agenda. Wexler, Howard Dean and Sen. Bernie Sanders promote EUROPEAN SOCIALISTS and the Socialist agenda of Obama, Pelosi and the Progressive Caucus.

If Biden is the VEEP….Welcome to WORLD SOCIALISM…..Biden too PRO UNITED NATIONS. Now wants to give Georgia ONE BILLION dollars for reconstruction? What about American infrastructure FIRST. What about American POVERTY FIRST instead of endorsing Obama’s Global Poverty ACT?

McCain/Romney 2008

I have to completly agree with Craig, even MSNBC has stated that the economy did not turn sour
until 2006 when the Democrates under Reid and Pelosi took over Congress. Now they want us to
believe that it is going to be wonderful with a Democrat in the White House, GREEEEAAAAT

As for Everett, I am one of those Boomers and I have significantly paid my dues to the beast.
How does 28 to 35 % Federal taxes sound for you Everett. Then we can role up the State and
Local ones that the Democratic leadership has piled on us and then we are looking at well over
FIFTY (50) Percent taxes. Gee working half time for myself and family what a wonderful life under
the DEMOCRATs

Yeah this fits Tim Kaine to a tee. Biden is the perfect Sec. of State, and Clark, Sec. of Defense. Kaine fits just what one needs the VP to be. Progressives will love him because he is able to talk about progressive ideas in the way that ‘family values’ voters connect with. He is another piece in the puzzle of constructing a new era of progressive politics and remaking the electorate in the south and west.

His best choice and the one I think he may pick is Biden who has foreign policy expertise, is very articulate and has the “fire in his belly” to connect with “middle class” workers— where Obama has failed to “close the deal”.

The ideal VP description for Obama is… Russ Feingold

Here’s the prediction: Obama/Feingold vs. McCain/Lieberman

Ivan, your Messiah is more overconfident than Tom Dewey ever was in ‘48. The Chicago Sun-Times is in for a big embarrassment election night when it declares “Obama defeats McCain”, and then the next morning he wakes up to find out he’s still only the junior Senator from Illinois, not president-elect.

What has Messiah Obama done to better the quality of life as a Senator? I’m waiting….waiting…starting to hear crickets chirping….

Everett, you claim Bush is selfish and overindulged. What does that make Messiah Obama? The guy acts like he’s got no chance of ever losing this election. He’s already talking about a transition team. This guy is arrogant to the millionth power.

A little more taxes? Everett, when you’re paying $5,000 more a year in taxes, tell me how good it is for the country. I’m waiting.

Sounds like he just defined the anti-Cheney to me.

doesnt matter who is running congress, its who is in the White House that affects policy. And Katrina was under a GOP Congress watch. Plus the perosn that said that the Pres has no role in domestic policy…what civics class did he take. The Pres and the VP are very much involved in domestic policy and if youw ant to get technical the VP chairs the senate. Maybe he should take that bakc to civics class.

Who cares about experience at this point? Bush and his White House had all the experience in the world and no Republican can honestly say that they did a good job. We are not safer (Bush has almost reached the 7-year mark that Clinton had of not being attacked by terrorists), our economy is a mess, the deficit is beyond belief. My kid was born $30K in debt and that is because of the irresponsible spending (taxing?) on this war. We need someone with vision, good judgment, intelligence, and that the rest of the world will respect. Obama fits that criteria as President, and whomever he picks as a running mate will just fall into the ticket and carry on. I personally hope for Wes Clark, but expect Biden.

Who ever Obama picks will be much better than McBush, REPUBLICANS FOR OBAMA!!!!!

Obama’s judgement flaws are showing up in his speech. He bubbles with pride to win and you know without substance and credible VP, his bubbles willl burst away. Obama has signifcant weaknesses, even his lack of experience, his young unseasoned age, and his flawed judgement, to name a few. We should accept McCain for one term, until we find a better democratic candidate. Obama is a great inspirational speaker.

Raymond

Obama was president of the Harvard Law Review. Graduated at the top of his class. If anyone needs to go back to school, it is your boy Bush (dumbest Pres. of all time) and John Mcsame (graduated last in his class)

You got to be stupid if you want to be the VP of someone that has NO experience Obama.

It will be demorilizing

Ivan(ho, ho, ho) and Everett(sky),
You are apparently wealthy and care not what happens to the people in this nation. You fail to remember that the party which you defend is responsible for the economic woes this country suffers. Taxes, taxes and more taxes. Congressional Dems don’t have a clue on fixing the economy. They only know that taxes keep their “nests well feathered”.

Dem motto: If it moves, tax it; if it keeps moving, regulate it; if it stops, subsidize it.

If Obama (should say his puppeteers) buys this election, Obama supporters should find some place of seclusion because there will be patriots seeking restitution for the subsequent collapse of this nation.

Ditto to Everett

The book might be on the best seller list, but look at the number of stars it is given and read what most of the people think of it. Some people will do or say anything for profit even if it’s wrong. It’s really too bad the book isn’t worth what it costs and this inaccurate author is making money on trash. If you are going to write something about someone, at least make it truthful. Really shameful.

Obama\Curious George 08
Obama\Mr Ed 08
Obama\r2d2 08
Obama\Dr Evil 08
Obama\Tinky Winky 08

All of these VP’s would do a helluva lot better than Obama as President!

Unless it’s Hillary, I am voting for McCain. Even with Hillary, I am so disgusted with the DNC I still may vote for McCain.

Obama/Bin Laden ‘08!
Once Obama introduces Osama as his running mate the sheep will be saying how honorable and respectable he is, and such a great leader.

to win or even come close Obama has to chose Hillary or Gore no one else can do it.

Obama/Kaine = McCain as the 44th President.

The State Senator picking a rookie governor?? Both will get creamed in the debates.

Comrade Everett,

Spoken like a true Marxist!

I think if Obama is half as smart as I think he is, he will choose Hillary as his team mate. That way, he would get three good politicians to help him do the job .. and it’s not even money out of his pocket. I think he is big enough to handle that. The world is in such bad shape these days, he needs all the help he can get. As head of the administration, he would receive credit for the good they could do. Thank you.
Winnie

I believe given the sabre rattling of Russia, Gen Clark may come into the mix. Although his name is not on the speaking schedule at the convention, the VP (whoever that is) is.

Just my thoughts on the matter as Republican.

When the Media and people talk about the VP position they just mention who they would like, who their favorite would be.

You have to look at Obama. Who his favorite might me, not yours, not the medias.

Obama has a long history of working beside and along with Republicans. Hillary doesn’t have that. Biden doesn’t have that. Bayh doesn’t have that. Kaine doesn’t have that.

Obama has a long history of winning over Democrats, Republicans, and Indepdendents. That rules out Hillary, Biden, Bayh, and Kaine because only democrats like them.

Obama wants a leader. Hillary is just a fighter. Kaine only has 3 years as a leader, and it’s not impressive at all. Biden has been in politics forever, but is only part of the crowd. Bayh has been a governor and Senator, but he’s just in it for the fame.

What Obama describes, and what Obama is… is most like: Texas Representative Chet Edwards, and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebilius.

Just like Obama, Chet Edwards and Kathleen Sebelius have won their positions in heavily Republican states. Just like Obama they have got support from both partys and independents. Kathleen was voted as one of the Top 5 Governors in the country, powerful leader. Chet has been recognized and praised by the Military for his creation of the New GI Bill. Obama praised that Bill created by Chet. Kathleen reduced Abortion in her state, and it’s the exact same plan that Obama is talking about. Chet and Kathleen are exactly identical to Obama on the issues. His plans are there plans. When Obama talks about Change, it’s the same type of Change that has been created by Chet Edwards and Kathleen Sebelius.

Biden is outdated, stale, and old politics. Kaine is new but not impressive. Bayh is a clone of Hillary, and only in it for the fame.

It’s going to come down to:
Barrack Obama - Chet Edwards
Barack Obama - Kathleen Sebelius

Umm, no Suzy and Craig, two years ago the US WASN’T “just fine” as you put it. You guys should take your own advise and “check the facts.” But since I know you’re not going to check them, here’s the plain truth: our government was running record deficits well before the 2006 elections, and that doesn’t even take into account the deficits we are running on Iraq, which is considered emergency supplemental spending and is going on our nation’s credit card. Like it or not, the seeds were planted well before the Dems gained control.
And I find it funny that the people who claim the Dem’s are “bankrupting the country” are the same people who claim that the Dem’s have failed to do anything while in control (as if the Republicans record-shattering number of cloture votes had nothing to do with this). Look it up.

It’s sound like you need Hillary, my Brother. Looking at the poles, you are slipping!!! You want to be President pick Hillary, other-wise you will handle McCain the Presidency on a Gold plate!!

IF HE DOES NOT CHOISE A SHE….HILL….. MICHELLE …. WILL BE LONESOME IN THE OVAL OFFICE….
REMENBER HE SAID TO REV. WARREN HE WOULD GO TO MICHELLE FOR ADVISE AND GRANDMAW…..
MICHELLE WILL BE PRES…. AND OBOMA WILL CARRY THE TITLE….
SHE HATES AMERICA…SHE RULES THAT HOUSE ….
SHE WILL BE IN CHARGE……
THE MEDIA SHOULD BE REAL PROUD OF THEM SELVES…..
WHAT A JOKE…..

He sescribed Hillary to a tee folks!!

The ‘more’ B.O. speaks the ‘less’ he says…
this is the reason behind his plunge in the polls…

Please support Obama. His VP pick will definitely be good. VIsit WHYOBAMA08.ORG!

Back in May, Dr. Tantillo (’the marketing doctor’), who has (a blog on branding) did a post arguing against the idea of an Obama-Clinton ticket–positing that from a branding perspective, it makes no sense, and actually wouldn’t be a good move for Clinton’s brand, either.

“Because of the length of this primary fight, brand identity and loyalty to brand have become central. What this means is that a kind of brand mutual exclusivity has set in.”

Not sure if I agree or if this idea still holds at this point, but it is a compelling argument - (and one that I at least think goes a long way toward explaining Obama’s hesitation to choose Clinton as his running mate–even if it would go a long way toward building party unity and seemingly clench the general election for Obama.)
