Dem Veepstakes Version 2.0

About a month has passed, so here's my revised odds on who Barack Obama will choose to share the ticket with him come this November:

Former Sen. John Edwards: 3-2 (Slowly warming to idea after initially ruling out spot)

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson: 2-1 (Obama's electoral map sees blue states out West)

Ret. General Wesley Clark: 4-1 (Still the safest pro-Clinton choice available)

US Senator Chuck Hagel: 5-1 (The Obama candidacy makes history again with GOP VP)

US Senator Hillary Clinton: 6-1 (Doesn't paying off her debts = No guaranteed VP spot?)

US Senator Joe Biden: 8-1 (I like him, but the "East Coast Liberal" tag might hurt)

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius: 9-1 (She can't deliver KS, but she might bring out women)

Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer: 20-1 (Who?)

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg: 25-1 (Is there anyone who really likes him?)

US Senator Evan Bayh: 30-1
(The poor man's Wes Clark has missed his shot)

Former Va. Gov. Mark Warner: 50-1 (Probably will stick to his US Senate campaign)

US Senator James Webb: 100-1 (Says he won't accept No. 2 spot even if offered)

About This Blog

The once and future savage outpost for my semi-meaningful thoughts and monologues that are too long for Twitter and not good enough to be sprawled across the front page of every major metropolitan newspaper in America with 120-pt. headlines. Also, the occasional diversion via YouTube.

Meditate On This

Most of the great artists never live to see their work truly appreciated on a global scale... Vincent van Gogh. Johann Sebastian Bach. Keyboard Cat.
