Obama's VP

In addition to Caroline Kennedy, who is the daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy, former Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder and longtime Washington insider Jim Johnson, I - James Logan, M.D. - have been chosen to assist in the search for a running mate for Barack Obama. Here are a few names we've been kicking around.

After a long and contentionus fight, Barack Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee. But who will be his running mate?
	PROS	CONS
Hillary Clinton	Has excellent policy credentials - supports universal healthcare. May help sway a large number of democratic voters who said they would not support Obama if he beat out Clinton as the nominee.	Her high percieved negatives make her a divisive figure which is at odds with Obama's message of unity and hope. With Bill back in the Whitehouse, high potential for shennigans that will distract from the issues. Won't make racist, blue-collar white voters from Kentucky any less racist. Would be second in line to the presidency

Joe Lieberman	Would help to quiet fears that Obama is a closet Muslim who wants to destroy Isreal.	Unacceptably high liklihood that he would take the nomination as a Republican double-agent, bent on destroying the democratic party.

Wesley Clark	Outstanding military service record Outstanding military service record Looks great in a suit.	Could be taken down easily in a barfight.

Dr. Pacman	Can adapt well to an ever changing political landscape. Expected to help Obama carry 95% of the Donkey Kong supporters.	Economic stimulus plan has been criticized for "lacking depth." Colored ghosts have not registerd with the general public as a significant national security threat since 1968.
