Obama is set to announce his VP Friday in an e-mail and formally announce it Saturday. I am Calling it today. Obama's VP short list Consist of: Evan Bahy, Tim Kaine, Kathleen Sabillius and Joe Biden. If my Final Call is Accurate Obama Will Pick............... Read More »
to the family, Friends and Supporters of Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Who Died yesterday of a brain anyurism. I didn't always agree with her (mostly when it came to the primaries) but she was a good person and a good congresswoman, she will be missed.
the shortlist has been leaked and there are four names left on it:
4. Sen. Evan Bahy (D-IN)
Now the only thing I know about the selection at this point is that it will not be Evan Bahy for two Reasons. 1) He's boring 2) If Obama wins and the Democrats get to 60 the governor of Indiana (Likely to remain Republican) will choose his replacement which means The GOP could Filibuster.
3.Gov. Tim Kane (D-VA)
At first when making my list, of 10 and then 7, I took off Tim Kane because I thought he was not well known enough. Obama think different. Kane is extremely charismatic and Powerful. Kane would be an excellent counter to the now likely McCain Pick of Eric Cantor. Kane could help bring Virginia and maybe North Carolina.
2. Gov. Kathleen Sabillius (D-KS)
Sabillius is a good choice. She could help with some Clinton supporters who wanted to see a woman in office. She makes it harder for McCain to use the Experience argument against Obama. She is fully able to be Vice President. She Can help in the Midwest, in states like MT, ND, SD, CO, IA, MO NM and NV. However, she is a risky choice. Racism and Sexism could prove difficult to overcome. The McCain Campaign could still bash them on foreign policy.
1. Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE)
I feel Biden is the by far the best choice Obama has. He is the one of the most qualified people in politics to be Vice President. He brings foreign policy experience. He has been a major critic of Bush and his Cronies. He will make almost every one more likely to vote for Obama. He is Respected by almost every one, he has a high approval rating. some people say he doesn't help with the map but I dis agree. I see him helping in states Like MN,MI,WI,PA,
OH,VA and CO.I think Biden will help make all Democrats and Liberal Independents feel better and make them More Likely to Vote. I feel Biden should, and is likely to be the VP.
4. Sen. Evan Bahy (D-IN)
Now the only thing I know about the selection at this point is that it will not be Evan Bahy for two Reasons. 1) He's boring 2) If Obama wins and the Democrats get to 60 the governor of Indiana (Likely to remain Republican) will choose his replacement which means The GOP could Filibuster.

We just experienced a 5.8 earthquake Centered in chino Hills (27 Miles from LA). The ground had a large swaying sensation for a good 15-25 seconds. this is the biggest earthquake here since Northridge in 1994. It seems that every one is fine, Just a little shaken up. I've called Friends and Family and everyone I could get a hold of was fine. one of my friends said their ukilalee Broke. There have been about 3 after shocks of a 3.8 Magnitude, I only felt one of them. It seem's like everything is fine out here. Cell phone lines are out and Land lines are as well in some parts of the county. Hopefully the system won't jam. Every one here is pretty much fine, and on behalf of California I thank you for your concern.
Joe Biden.
Biden beat Edwards in the finals by a vote of 5-4.
Biden seems to be the one that is doing the best among people. He won this tournament, He was named the most Likely to be VP by Chris Mathews this week, he finished a close second to Clark in the CQ VP Madness and is the front runner in the MSNBC Veepstakes.
although I voted for Edwards I think he would help the ticket. He brings Foreign Policy experience, which people think Obama is Lacking. he helps bring liberals and Moderates together.
I think geographically he helps in Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Colorado.
Biden is a very good choice.
