Bayh is way too conservative.

Biden.

Although Clark might also help the ticket more than other names.

Would the "New York money people" let him run?  I hear they control the entire US government.

I'm going to get a lot of crap for saying it, but I still think he should pick Hillary.

Bayh is way too conservative.

Actually, I agree with Richardson.  In terms of EV's, he's probably the second best choice.

     Agreed! He'll deliver New Mexico, & um, that's it. Still, he'll guarantee Obama 5 EVs that he was probably going to win anyway!

He can help with Hispanic voters in Colorado, Nevada, and Florida.

     How many people do you think realize that he's hispanic? If he came on TV speaking Spanish, he'd probably be assumed to be a gringo.

Why Senator Mikulski of Maryland Winfield? She'd bring nothing to Obama's ticket if Barack Obama was to select her. Absolutely nothing at all, except for the substitute teacher look, which Barack Obama needs to win over the substitute teacher vote Tongue.

Brian Schwietzer of Montana... the man is practically everything Obama needs except foreign policy experience. Which, I think, is something that wont be decisive anyway

Two things Obama will get nailed on will be his overall experience (or lack thereof) and on foreign policy.  The VP pick needs to counter against those two things.

My opinion, the best choices are Joe Biden or Sam Nunn.  I'd go with Nunn, since he's been out of DC for over a decade and could fit the outsider mold better than a lifetimer like Biden.
