He is a successful governor, in the straw poll state, who is a moderate. That is three big pluses right there. I don't think he'll win the nomination, but I'd say he has a shot at VP.

VP maybe... but i think edwards still has to be the favorite at this point for the pres. nomination. and i'm not sure if obama would do it, but an Edwards Obama ticket would be near unbeatable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has been wildly successful. Improved one of the poorest states in the union in education and income, and did it without going into major debt like other states. He's socially moderate, and a keen business guy. He's got foreign policy background, and, he was Clinton's energy secretary. He's also brokered a lot of good deals regarding land use in NM, a big issue in the west. And brought a lot of new business to the state. I realize you wouldn't like any Dem, but, I'd think you'd prefer a fiscal conservative, business-minded guy over the alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually consider voting for Lieberman. And your right he may be better than the alternatives (Clinton or Kerry especially) and quite frankly Obama has really had to do nothing so I can't speak enough about him cause his history as a politician doesn't tell me much aside from the fact he's well liked.

Other ideas should be looking at our Governor's around the country. It seems to be a trend toward governors as Presidents. Clinton, Kerry, Gore would not be a good choice.
