Who should Senator Clinton pick as her VP?
I used to think that Senators Obama and Clinton would probably end up on the same ticket as an unity ticket, but now with Obama being radioactive, I don't think Senator Clinton can afford to choose him. I'd like to see her pick someone that is more liberal than she is. Maybe John Edwards but that might not work. Ted Strickland is popular sure but SUSA already has Clinton 11 points ahead in Ohio so I'm not sure she needs him. Bayh is very attractive to be sure but he's much more conservative than I would prefer. Rendell is out as Clinton will carry PA anyway.
An old economic hand might be a good choice like Robert Rubin or a foreign policy expert extraordinarie like Richard Holbrooke.
I'm open to more names as well.

1. Is Hillary starting a company? Because that is the only thing I see her being president of.

6. No not a company
But she is, after the events of yesterday, highly likely to be the democratic nominee. Nominees choose running mates.

2. I highly doubt that Senator Clinton will need to look that far ahead.

4. In her fantasy world where she actually gets to run?
How about Big Bird? Fairly innocuous, has a good attitude and a positive outlook on life, would be great for opening shopping malls and whatever else the Vice President really gets to do...

5. Probably A KKK Supporter..
... If she wants to bring that 'White House' Experience along with her...
Senator Hilary Clinton Must Explain the Praising of a Group of KKK Supporters:

Actually, if Messalina Agrippina practices practical politics, and is serious about winning the election, Messalina Agrippina would choose a running mate to counter-balance her own rabid extreme left-wingism; someone far over on the other side so as to bring the ticket into perfect equilibrium.
David Duke would make an excellent choice, then.

7. Evan Bayh...
...was reading how he's helping her in Indiana and she just might need someone in that part of the country.
John Lewis was an option until he jumped ship, as was Bill Richardson.

11. Bayh is far too conservative
I'd like to see her pick someone who would polish up her credentials with the democratic base.

33. You say base, I say base...
...actually one part of the base is blue-collar, and she has that, but if you mean the more left side, then, yeah, she needs that...although Bill Clinton took Al Gore who was very conservative at the time. Who, then? Barbara Boxer?

15. That was my question
Oh man. The heidi primitive being the usual stupid heidi primitive.
Anyway, that's the general tenor of this large bonfire on Skins's island.
A supporter of Messalina Agrippina asked a reasonable question, and the bonfire got hijacked by the rabid Obamaite sub-primitives.
