Default Who will Barack choose as Vice President?

At the moment, everyone's sort of wondering if he will pick Hillary Clinton: I hope so.
Although, I think Condoleeza Rice would be a good VP, as well as Colen Powell (sp?), although I think they've both maintained that they would not be interested.

As far as I know, Hillary is the first pick, and from what I have heard, they made a deal about that; Hillary officaly confesses the lose in Democrats battle, for exchange, Obama gives her a Vice President position.

I don't know of any other option. Just not again somebody who will support wars, killings, American geopolitic arogance and so on.

John Edwards.

Powell should've ran for president. IMO, he is the kind of guy that can change America and the world for the better and has the experience to get us through the war.

Lol, noone fully introduces their platform when they are running for Party Leader.
It's when they get into the actual election, that they tell us 'what they want to do'.

Too much too soon. I just don't think it'd look right to the voters. I among others would see it as race bias.

Rofl, a race bias?
For the last 100 years, there's been nothing but white people in office. That is a race bias.
The only ones I could possibly see complaining about having a black president & vice president would be people who are racists, themselves.

Good call, Zach.

I think a big chunk of the country is tired of rich white dudes running things. Rich white dudes know nothing about a lot of us (and as a white dude, I got two outta three, but I still don't feel like people like McCain have any idea what my life is like).

Unfortunately, there's another big chunk of the country, like Gunna, who think there is some sort of anti-white conspiracy afoot. I've actually been told by someone that they believe all white people will become slaves if Obama is elected. WTF?!

The problem with an Obama/Clinton ticket is that a lot of people really hate women. I'm afraid that the numbers of people who hate women plus the numbers of people who hate people of color will all vote for McCain, and then the world will basically end*.

ETA: Wait, Zach, "100 years"? By my count the grand ol' US of A is over 200 years old, but if we look at the world's history at large, rich white dudes have been running shit since the beginning of time (think about the big players in world domination--the ones that are coming to my mind are all white dudes). I assure you, racism goes back a lot longer than a century.
