Should President Obama pick a new VP? [View all]
Should President Obama respond to Romney's desperation pick of Ryan with a counterpunch of a NEW vice-president?
If so, who would be the most effective VP against Ryan? Who would be the best future for the Democratic Party?
My own pick would have been Jennifer Granholm, but she was born in Canada, so that eliminates her. I don't really like Hillary Clinton that much, mostly because of her age... However, I do respect Hillary as a really solid campaigner, and it would be funny to watch her debate against Ryan, assuming he has the guts to show up. Bill Richardson of New Mexico was someone I liked, but he had a cloud and is getting old, too... I just looked over the current Democratic governors, and I admit that I don't really like any of them that much as a potential VP. Bev Perdue is kind of interesting, but also on the old side. Where are the promising young Democrats?
This is not intended as a criticism of Joe Biden. I like him, and even think he's done a pretty good job, though the VP slot is mostly a do-nothing job--unless you're going to run for president, and I think Joe is too old for that. In contrast, I think Joe has the potential to be a magnificent Secretary of State, and Hillary has already said she wants off that hook.

Hey, stupid primitive--Romney knew exactly what he was doing. The Obamessiah has been winging it from January 20th, 2009.

Nah. Slo Joe is the best life insurance policy obama could have.

Thanks to BEG, who found this:
The palpable excitement over Ryan’s selection contrasts sharply with Barack Obama’s announcement of Joe Biden 2008. In August of 2008, when Obama picked Biden, contributions to the Obama campaign actually decreased from the previous month.

They're getting desperate. They know that slow Joe is going to get clobbered in the debate. The thing is they've basically admitted that O is the best they have and Ryan already ran circles around him.

Ryan was not a desperation pick, but a well thought out and considered choice. Obviously much more so than Biden was.
However, for Obama to now pick a female or anyone else over Biden, would be the ultimate in desperation and pandering. Maybe Obama should go with some "wise Latina" and lock up the Hispanic and women's vote.

Slow Joe's debate coaches are scrambling to come up with a one-liner that he can blurt out to zing Ryan with at some point during the debate. Something for the DUmmies to focus on that will make them exclaim Bazinga or Home Run and then claim victory.

No 0bama shouldn't pick another VP, but maybe slow Joe should pick him another running mate. :-)

Does the Zero need a VP? Jesus didn't need one. Ghandi didn't need one. So why should the ch0sen one need one?
Oh, yeah, he didn't screw this country up on his own. Someone else did it, and he needs a scapegoat.
If he wants to pick a minority woman, he could always pick Elizabeth "Fauxcahontas" Warren.

I dunno where the primitives got their silly idea that Ryan was a "desperation pick," although they certainly seem dedicated to the illusion.
Romney had a whole array of possible running-mates from which to select, and Ryan edged out the others.
Romney could've named anyone his running-mate with nary an impact (perhaps a small one, but negligible) on his winning.
I'm not sure the primitives truly understand how big, how strong, this "anybody-but-Barack-Milhous" momentum is.

They want the choice to be a desperate move for the Romney campaign, so they're busy trying to convince each other of it. Kind of sad, really. Their assumptions have no basis in reality but they're willing to believe them anyway.

If Ryan had truly been a "desperation pick", it could have waited until the convention.

Spin, spin, spin, the primitives are spinning.....
