At this point in time, there is no better choice to complement Obama and counter McCain than Sam Nunn. And Nunn was against BOTH wars in Iraq, to boot. Sam Nunn would give Obama the confidence of swing voters - and the election. Sam Nunn is not only a foreign affairs expert, he is THE expert when it comes to Russia and Russian policy.

Didn't see that, so thought I'd just like to say that I'm just one of MANY who would only considering voting for Obama IF Hillary Clinton was chosen as his running mate. Besides my loyalty to Hillary and my beliefs about her capabilities, I sincerely do not think Obama will be able to win the election in November without her on the ticket. I'm not excited about choosing a Republican, but.... am giving it serious consideration.. unless I just don't vote for the first time in my life!

She would be a big-league pick for Obama, and a gesture designed to unify the Democratic Party. She still polls higher against Mccain than Obama even after June. If you scroll down Obama's list of choices, the analysis hasn't really changed: Obama with anyone other than Clinton doesn't seem to add much at all, while an Obama-Clinton "Dream Ticket" would be nearly unstoppable. Eight weeks ago Obama probably felt like he didn't need her. Eight weeks later, he probably needs her more than he's willing to admit, and certainly more than she needs him. If Obama wants to win, and if his ego will allow it, he should pick Clinton. CBS: Senator Hillary Clinton is by far the favorite choice for the number two spot on the Democratic ticket, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll of delegates to the Democratic convention. By more than five to one, 56 percent superdelegates think putting Clinton on the ticket would help Obama win the election.
