Who do you think Obama will pick for VP?



Recommended Posts

I was just watching CNN and it seems Obama announce he know who his VP will be but he is not saying anything at this time.

Any guesses?

I still think it's going to be John Edwards...even if he cheated on his wife doesn't mean he wouldn't be a good VP. People go through hard times...shit Bill Clinton cheated on his wife the whole time he was president.

I know a lot of people want it to be Hillary. I dunno how I would feel about that. I think she might try to take control of him at times...so I am not so sure if that's a good idea.

And the people who think Tim Kaine...are just morons...if Obama did happen to choose him then he pretty much gave the election to Mccain.

dont think it'll be Clinton nor Edwards... Clinton would be too controlling and there's wayyyyyyyyy too much damage control with Edwards.. yup, Bill Clinton cheated on his wife will in office, but people liked him so he was re-elected. Edwards hasnt had a chance to 'prove' himself.

Well...my yahoo home page says this: "The suspense holding, Barack Obama readied an announcement by text message Friday of his vice presidential running mate from a list suddenly spiced by a dark horse from Texas."

Which, I think is smart if it's a Texan. It's been said around here (Houston) that Obama WILL NOT WIN Texas. But, if he gets a good 'ole boy, then he may win the southern states...

I'm pulling for a woman, but hey...I already lost that one a few months ago....

I dont know but I cant wait for that text message!

I signed up for the text message as well. I'm betting on Hillary Clinton. I think anyone else would just be giving the election to McCain. We'll see or hear soon.

I had read some months ago in one of our Canadian papers that Joe Biden was a possibility. He is an intellectual and although he lacks Obama's charm he is very knowledgeable on foreign policies, something that Obama is inexperienced in, was given as the reason for his attractiveness as VP.

Admittedly, as somewhat of a conservative, I may be missing some crucial nuance, but I think Obama just made a bonehead mistake. Biden may be even MORE liberal than Obama....I think he needed somebody to play off his weaknesses, not reinforce what strengths / weaknesses he already has. I think the majority of the American people have negative connotations associated with those politicians labeled "liberals", and if Obama REALLY wanted to sweep the election, he'd have chosen Hilly.

I look for McCain to pick a fairly conservative VP for the above reasons. Of course, I was totally wrong about the Obama veep pick, so....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
