		<description>Webb is the perfect McCain neutralizer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
But barring Webb I&#039;d go for Judd Apatow. He just can&#039;t lose these days.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>If one nut (McCain) requires neutralization by another, Webb is a fine choice. I think Obama can rise above that, though.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Richardson brings experience to the table with more... sanity. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Is being shot in Vietnam a prereq for the VP spot?  </description>

		<description>This election should not be about egos, it should be about what&#039;s best for the Democratic party, and what gives them the biggest chance of winning.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Why Hillary is the best candidate to work with Obama:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1. She has the SECOND HIGHEST SCORE in the Primaries - she lost by very little. This means she can help drive MORE VOTES FOR the DEMOCRATS so that the Democrats can be guaranteed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
2. Complementarity: She&#039;s experienced. He&#039;s not. She&#039;s seen these movies before. She knows how to navigate Washington. He has barely any experience. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
3. Do NOT piss of the women. Hillary has an overwhelming number of support from women - who comprise more than HALF&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
4. PARTY UNITY. We need ALL sides represented. With Hillary and Obama together, they can reach out to a &quot;more complete&quot; constituent base.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
5. All the other VP candidates do NOT make sense. What are they supposed to do, be Obama&#039;s puppet? Obama needs someone he can talk to, deliberate with, discuss with who matches (or even is better than) his intelligence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The fact is this: despite the competition of their speeches, if they are both as smart as we know they are, they will end up liking and respecting each other.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
One advice: Obama needs to keep his feisty (crazy) wife out of the Oval Office decisions, as much as Clinton needs to stay out of Hillary&#039;s hair if and when she becomes VP.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Obama probably will pick Hillary for VP. But I can definitely understand his hesitation. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
She goes against almost everything he&#039;s built his campaign on, CHANGE. Think of the last 5 presidential terms and the possible 6th one, G BUSH - B CLINTON - B CLINTON - G W BUSH - G W BUSH -H CLINTON (VP),  it&#039;s a hard sell to his supporters. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
But since the beginning Obama has also said that this isn&#039;t about him, it&#039;s about the people and a large amount of people would want Hill as VP, this would be the ultimate proof of that. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So it comes down to Change or For the people, I can understand his hesitation. </description>
