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)
