An interesting tactical move. But I think Obama would still nominate someone.

No one’s mentioned John Edwards yet? I always expected him to be the natural choice for both Obama and Hillary. I do hope it’s Richardson though, as I like him pretty well.

That move would certainly cost O or H my vote. I don’t want Edwards anywhere near the White House. let alone a heart-beat away. No ambulance chasers need apply.

Yeah, if McCain weren’t the GOP nominee, I think she’d be a great pick. But he is, so now… not so much.

She still might be. Think about it - if Napolitano was the VP pick, an Arizona voter could vote for either ticket and still be voting for “one of their own”. Her presence on the Democratic ticket would force McCain to campaign hard in his own home state, which is something Presidential candidates don’t usually have to do. And that would leave him less time and money for his campaigns elsewhere. And she’d have real appeal to female voters as well.
Both Napolitano and Richardson offer strong assets to an Obama ticket. What a tough choice!

I REALLY don’t want either candidate plucking any Dem senators out of the Capitol. We have too thin a majority as it is, and we’re losing one either way things go with the primaries. Reducing the Senate’s Democratic Caucus even more is kind of stupid if there are ANY alternative choices.

Well its OK if it is a senator from a state with a Democratic governor. The governor gets to choose the replacement until an election can be held.
