The VP pick for Obama: Jim Webb

BIDEN!!!

Seriously...a son who is scheduled to serve in Iraq during the campaign, a job in the real world and a person who, because of his home state, has the experience andability to genuinely connect with constituents, exceptional foregn policy experience, a real desire to create change (and the knowledge to do it), and safe enough to keep Obama's high levels of support from independents intact.

I think Senator Jay Rockefeller would be the ideal choice for Obama's Vice President.  He's been a Governor for two terms, and a Senator since 1985 after that.  True, he is 71 years-old, but if John McCain ends up being the Republican nominee I don't think that baggage is too heavy to bear.  Rockefeller comes from West Virginia - a key state in the 2008 campaign and one it would be good for the Democrats to solidify.  Also, if he is chosen, there is a Democratic Governor waiting to appoint his replacement and a deep Democratic bench in the state.  Obama/Rockefeller has a nice ring to it. 

And you could be sure that Rockefeller Republicans would be so no more...
