So should Senator Obama choose HRC for his Vice President?
NO.
These two would be the oddest couple ever. She would step all over his change message. She would cause him to lose votes. She would suck the oxygen out of his Presidency. I am one who would turn away if Senator Obama failed to live up to his message of change by bringing a second Clinton to the White House.
Who would I like to see on the ticket with Senator Obama?
Congressman Gene Taylor from Mississippi-4th
Cons:
Republicans might capture his Congressional seat if he vacates for the Obama VP ticket.
He voted FOR the Iraq war.
He voted to impeach Clinton.
He is against abortion.
Pros:
He is a populist; a supporter of the rights and power of the people.
Worked to expand health benefits for military retirees.
Protectionist, opposes NAFTA, CAFTA, and normal trade relations with China.
Stands up for his constituents, gave Brownie an F-minus for his inadequate response to Katrina; got an Amendment passed by the House requiring an investigation whether insurance companies had wrongly denied claims after Katrina.
