| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
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
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
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
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
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.


I promise to keep my readers updated on the process, as more candidates are vetted.
