Will he select Hillary? Or will he select a Governor list of governors like Kathleen Sebelius, Bill Richardson or even Ted Kulongoski? Or will he want to run alongside another Senator list of senators like Dodd, Durbin, McCaskill, or Webb? Will he be looking for a women, a jew, a military man, a rural person? what type of veep do you think he will select, and specifically who?

Kulongoski? certainly hope not. He's been a pretty mediocre to poor governor at best.

Not to mention he's a Hillary supporter, from a safely blue state. Not clear what he'd bring to the table, except for making Barack look tall.

Personally, I think Hillary will not be the one.

I think that there are several things that Obama will look for, but no veep candidate will be able to fill all roles.
1) Be able to bring in a swing state
2) Be able to bring the older women vote that was heavily in the Hillary camp
3) Be able to appeal to white working class middle America
4) Be able to bring Jewish voters behind him (very important for Florida)
5) Be able to to add a solid military and international affairs component

I like Webb or Sebelius. Both are good with middle class, Webb would add Military credibility and Sebelius would help with the female component.
