Possible Democratic Tickets for November
Possible Democratic tickets? As there would be the potential to tie up the White House for 12-16 years, the choice of VP is particularly important this time. A potential successor must be the choice. This may actually work against Obama’s Presidential bid, if people think that far ahead, because he will be seen in need of a strong running mate, and that person might be too old to succeed him.
Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama: Too many reasons for bigots to vote against either version. Sorry to harp on about that, but it is an unfortunate truth.
Edwards strengthens both of the other two, both because of what he isn’t and because he is a Southerner.
Who would Edwards pick as running mate if he wins? The gut reaction is whoever comes second, but whereas I think Clinton would make a great veep, if a Democrat wins and is popular, the next new President would take office in 2017, at which point she will be 69 years old – very likely too old. The same goes for Bill Richardson. So for Edwards, it would be Obama or AN Other
Whatever happens, this looks like being the most interesting Presidential Campaign in many years – at least for Democrats. Things are looking rather bleak for Republicans. What a dismal field of candidates they have put forth!
