He was born in ‘51. That means he turned 18 in ‘69 and he was in college for a couple of years of draft eligibility—He graduated with his bachelors in ‘74 and the draft ended in ‘73.

Well, this ought to be easy then. Just count up who's been crying their eyes out.

LOL!! I rather suspect, given the trends as they are now, that in order to find who was *not* chosen, look for those who are sighing in relief...

The logical choice is Hillary.

It would be, if he hadn't spent his whole campaign concentrating on one word: "Change." If he picked Hillary! he'd have to change the theme to "Same Old." And it's wayyyy too late for that.

Moral of the story: Never get trapped by your marketing.

There’s only one way Obama can win Texas, and that’s if McCain picks Perry as VP. 8^)

The reason Rod Blagojevich is the governor of Illinois today is because the ILGOP was dumb enough to run a guy named Ryan in the same year Governor Ryan was being indicted for a Secretary of State scandal that got a a bunch of little kids burned to death.

You don’t THINK he’ll help Obama in Texas? How about there’s noway he’ll help Obama. He’s not the senator or the Governor, Edwards was elected by ONE district in Texas.
And in the end, unless the veep canidate is horrible, the veep doesn’t sway voters.

Yeah, I know. But for the general public who won’t know those details, a Harvard MBA does impress.

They could just print bumper stickers that read:

Dead Babies/Dead Babies

It’s much easier to pronounce.
