Who will/should Obama pick as running mate?

It’s the kind of role that no one is truly qualified for… that’s been my argument for Obama running for president when people accused him of not being experienced enough… The thing is, he has the leadership qualities, character and gravitas to pull it off. And so does Caroline…

There is nothing that Obama could not handle, I’m confident of that.

How can you think about beer at a time like this?

Well, I intend to take Nov. 5th off work this year, because one way or another, I imagine I’ll be doing some drinking the previous night.

That reminds me that I need to put in for the 4th and 5th off. The first to work the polls, and the second to celebrate/mourn and recover.

I’m taking M-W off that week. I have the feeling I’m going to vomit all day Wednesday. The bastards are going to kick the sand in our face again.

Why not G. H. W. Bush? There’s your world policy, your reach across to the Republicans…why not?
:slight_smile:

Obama has already been pummeled (unfairly, IMHO) for having a too-short resume. Hers is significantly shorter. Much as I like her, and as nice as “Obama-Kennedy” sounds, it’s not at all a winning ticket.

He better not be in his driveway on Saturday. He’s supposed to be teaching my damn Con Law class.

What we’re gonna do if he is the nominee, I haven’t foggiest. Presumably he won’t be available on Saturday’s to teach anymore.

Biden has been quite good about coming home every night from Washington as a senator thus far, so I wouldn’t be surprised if, with a few disruptions, he would continue on this track for your class. Obviously, if he is The Chosen, this Saturday would be one of the disruptions.

Do you think he’d commute as a Vice President?

No apostrophe needed in ‘Saturdays,’ btw.

I’m a law student. I don’t need no fancy correct grammar and punctuation.

Anyway, just got email from school stating that if he is the VP candidate he won’t be available to teach the rest of the semester, which we’ll screw me over quite nicely. I doubt his replacement would be worth me rolling out of bed on Saturday at 7 in the morning. I assumed his son, the Delaware AG, might take over. Of course, come to find, he just got redeployed to Iraq.
Biden’s apparently quite comical and easy-going in class. For whatever that is worth.

That’s right; you’ll have a secretary and a paralegal to actually write your briefs and such. All you need to write are the invoices to submit to the clients. :wink:

I can believe he’d be a pretty fun instructor. It was kind of amusing watching him pass out bagels to the reporters staked out in his driveway today.

Now I’m almost hoping he doesn’t say anything until this weekend. It might give me time to print up a run of t-shirts and bumperstickers: “Obama-Your Name Goes Here '08.” “Obama-Sweepstakes Winner 2008!” For that matter there’s almost time to do Publishers’ Clearinghouse-style mailings, like “Vice Presidential Candidate or Current Occupant.”

Dude. Can you get him to have class in his driveway?

Yeah! With bagels!

You know, you could help get people out to vote that day. That’d be a good use of that day off.

As a general proposition, attorneys have the grammatical ability of a three year old lemur. So I have to fit in somehow. I’m not getting by on my good looks and my fancy law talkin’.

The first thing I said when I saw that news report was “He better bring the leftovers to class.”

DynamoX3, I’ve tried to contact you, but my email bounced back. Would you please contact me by email or provide a different address?
