Everyone Can Breathe A Sigh Of Relief

Sounds like someone's angling for Barack's Veep slot.
In the weeks and months ahead, I will continue to work to steer the national conversation away from partisanship and toward unity; away from ideology and toward common sense; away from sound bites and toward substance. And while I have always said I am not running for president, the race is too important to sit on the sidelines, and so I have changed my mind in one area. If a candidate takes an independent, nonpartisan approach — and embraces practical solutions that challenge party orthodoxy — I’ll join others in helping that candidate win the White House.
Maybe Jim Webb

Obama will need someone with a ton of gravitas and service creds to weather the right-wing smear machine. See my post in the Forum Topics titled, "Obama should choose Colin Powell as V.P."
Dodd, Richardson or Webb
I love Chris Dodd, he's got the "experience" thing with regard to all issues, but of course foreign policy, he was in the Peace Corps which gives him big plusses in my book, and speaks a second language fluently (Spanish) and wrote a book about the Nuremberg trials, something the current administration must never have heard of.
Bill Richardson, a governor, a mellow guy, a hispanic, multi-lingual, huge foreign policy credentials, what's not to like here?
Jim Webb, because of his service creds and help in winning his home state of Virginia would be a good argument for him.
Just my 2 cents~ I just hope, and I think he will, pick someone that will compliment the "vision thing" he's got going on.
