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.

Edwards does have an awesome head o' hair.

You're an odd one.:cursing:

I don't know, but I'm going to hear him speak tomorrow at the event in Springfield, IL. I am so excited! (And still pulling for Hillary)

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....

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
