This VP strategy stuff is pure crap!
No president won the White House on the basis of their VP pick in the last 40 years.
Clinton will get incredible media just because she will be the first woman. Nominating Obama creates a minority ticket. The media will paint anyone opposing them as sexist and/or racist....a perfect Clinton strategy.

If it was "pure crap", then it wouldn't much matter and nobody would make a fuss, would they?
It will be Richardson. Not Obama because they reason correctly that they already own anything he might bring. Not Warner or some southerner because it wouldn't work and they don't need it anyway. Richardson. Take it to the bank.

True and that is why Reagan made a mistake in picking Bush
He didn't need him to get elected
