Nathan Tyree: VeeP
According to marc Ambinder, Obama has beegun the search for a VEEP candidate. What I find interesting about the article is the list being suggested.

"Potential ticket-mates, in no particular order, include Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA), Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) former Sen. Sam Nunn (D-GA), Gov. Tim Kaine (D-VA), Ex-Sen. Tom Daschle (D-SD), Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM), Ex-Sen. John Edwards, (D-NC), Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D-KS), Gov. Janet Napolitano (D-AZ), Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) ex-Rep. Tim Roemer (D-IN), Gov. Ted Strickland (D-OH) and others."

You will notice a Republican on that list (Hagel). He's a long shot, in my opinion. Sen Clinton is an even longer shot. I'm glad to see my top two picks on the list: Kathleen Sebelius and Bill Richardson. I think either of these two would bring a lot of strength tio the ticket. I also think that (despite his claims to not want it) Edwards would be a hell of a choice given recent polling.
