      <title>Anatomy of a VP Candidate Revisited </title>
      <description><![CDATA[

	
	A few months back I wrote a post analyzing the attributes of contenders for the VP spot.  The conclusion of that post was that Gen. Wesley Clark was the best pick to be Obama's VP.  I mentioned at the time that I had not weighted the different metrics that were used to rank the VP contenders.  Given that we know a lot more now about how the ...]]></description>

      <title>Bayh Would Be a Mistake as Obama's VP</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
	
	
Rumors are swirling that Obama is going
to announce Evan
Bayh as his VP on Wednesday, based on his two day trip to
Indiana.  Before everyone jumps on the bandwagon (or off), here are
three reasons why it would be a mistake for Obama to select Evan
Bayh:

The Governor of Indiana is a
	Republican


If Obama is
serious about getting legislation p...]]></description>

      <title>The Low Road is the Right Road for McCain</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Let's put all the pretenses aside and get right to the point: John McCain's best shot at winning the White House in November will be through heavily negative campaign advertising and a decidedly personal brand of attack against Democratic nominee Barack Obama.
 
Just a little more than a week ago, the Obama campaign was looking like a ru...]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[After six rounds and more than 77,000 votes cast, Kathleen Sebelius is the winner of the Eyes On Obama Veepstakes.  She received 47% (1001 votes) of the votes in the final round.  Sebelius was consistently amongst the top 3 vote getters in each round, despite little media coverage.

      <title>Strickland &amp; Obama are Both Leos: Is This Ticket in the Stars?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
So today, Obama turns the big 4 -7...and Ohio Governor Ted Strickland turns the big 6 - 7.
Strickland once said when asked if he'd be Obama's running mate:
"Absolutely not. If drafted I will not run, nominated I will not accept and if elected I will not serve."
But Teddy... come on. The stars have it. And they say that you and Obama, you two c...]]></description>

      <title>Obama Needs a Female VP, Should Select Hillary</title>
      <description><![CDATA[

Politico.com posted an article today explaining why it is likely
that McCain will let Obama make the first vp selection.  The reasoning is fairly clear ??&quot; if you can
wait for the other guy (and thereby have more information to make your
decision), why not?  The Republican
convention is a week after the Democratic convention, so McCain ...]]></description>

      <title>McCain has no ethics, or respect for Obama</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
        I don't know how long
this can last, but John McCain is a conservative Republican who for
many years was respected by most Democrats and independents.  His
Senate votes have usually been the so-called "conservative" position,
but there have been some interesting exceptions (campaign finance,
torture in the military, etc.). ...]]></description>

      <title>Family &amp; Politics: What John McCain and Dick Cheney Have in Common</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Senator McCain is now playing the race card. Or is Senator Obama the one playing it? Wait, one of them had to have played the race card first... but who?  Frankly, I wish we would all retire the phrase "playing the race card".  Racism is not a card game.  Not only that, but the way the debate between McCain and Obama has devolved int...]]></description>

      <title>The Real Benefit of Obama's Overseas Trip</title>
      <description><![CDATA[According to Gallup's rolling three-day national polling, Barack Obama's trip didn't do a lot to change the presidential race.  While he was visiting American troops and foreign leaders, he saw a marked increase, topping out at a nine-point margin over GOP nominee John McCain.  But since he's returned, the polling numbers seemed to have c...]]></description>

      <title>Joe Biden has so much to offer as a Vice Presidential Partner to Barack</title>
      <description><![CDATA[I have been out of the "bloggisphere" for a while now, however as the days creep up upon us it is getting closer to the time we hear the name of Barack's Vice-presidential candidate.
I have been following them closely and although I am from the state of Indiana and Evan Bayh has the credentials I would love to see Joe Biden in the position....]]></description>
