It’s one of my favorite games. Some rumblings already about McCain-Guiliani (ugh). Who would Obama choose. OK, I’ll get it started: How does Obama-Hagel sound? What about Hillary? Or Romney?
Penny for your thoughts.

Stop Obama Slates
“The Dolores Huerta Coalition”

The Creative Class Slate?
“Sizzle and Steak”
Obama/Bloomberg

Obama/Bloomberg is solid gold!
I always thought Obama/ Edwards, but now maybe not?
I like Obama/Sebelius…
How about Obama/Gore for a sure winner?
I can’t think about four more years of the Clintons

Will -Obama/ Bloomberg - Vision with execution. Patrick - what a phenomenal (dare I say creative) list.
January 31st, 2008 at 4:30 pm
How about Obama/Jim Webb?
January 31st, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Obama/Richardson, especially if McCain is the opponent

Obama-Richardson is good; Obama-Bloomberg is cool; Obama-Warner would be platinum. Warner is not just street-cred creative class; he left Virginia as the one of the most popular governors in her history. And Bush won her by more than 10 points in 2004; but Warner’s protege won the governorship a year later by about 10 points solely on Warner’s coattails. Warner would pick-up moderates, creatives and a large number of would be Republican votes.
I personally don’t care for Warner. I organized a group to play basketball with him during law school at his request. He had a mean hook-shot and an inability to leave the court when his team lost, breaking a sacrosanct rule of pick-up basketball. But he would put Obama over the top for sure if Obama could convince him to surrender his prospective senate run to become a VP nominee. Warner’s ego probably forecloses the possibility.

I’d kinda like to see Obama–Biden, since Biden’s foreign policy experience and clear ideas for Iraq would be helpful in countering Republican attacks.
