Bill, for one. Of course I want women to hold high offices but somehow Hillary's just not my gal. Secondly, I don't think she's truthful. <BR/><BR/>I think Obama needs to chose a VP candidate such as an elderly-statesman type, the democratic version of John McCain, yeah an old white guy. One that has the foreign affairs/military chops. Also, hint at a Colin Powell for Secretary of State. <BR/><BR/>Obama needs to surround himself with folks of much experience and folks the American people aleady know they can trust. To suggest - "OK, I may not have the experience but I do have the good judgement to surround myself with folks of experience and integrity." <BR/><BR/>I've personally liked Obama since I saw him campaigning for the US House. Most importantly though, he has shown the ability to get the young people interested in this campaign. And hey, if the foreign leaders respect him and show an interest in working with him, that's another reason he has my vote. VIVA Obama!appalcarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592728352758100034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562902658148179903.post-73958248708627296362008-06-04T20:49:00.000-07:002008-06-04T20:49:00.000-07:00Thanks for the video links, cuz.

I knew he'd been outspoken against the war, but I still am not sure given the post 9-11 patriotic ferver if he would have voted against it as a senator. Still, it's heartening to see he apparently saw through the b.s. from the beginning.<BR/><BR/>Collin: Do you really think he'll choose Hill?? I'm curious what others think of the plusses and minuses of that move. Maybe I'll do an entry on it...Kate Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478737570632377733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562902658148179903.post-32736921123600270992008-06-04T19:14:00.000-07:002008-06-04T19:14:00.000-07:00I hope he makes Hillary VP.

He was speaking at anit-war rallies.appalcarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592728352758100034noreply@blogger.com
