I've been thinking about who Obama should pick as his VP, and the more I think about it, the more I think Hillary Clinton might be the best choice for Obama against McCain.

I know that some of you wouldn't vote for Obama if this happened, that some of you would, and that some of you won't anyway because you're voting for McCain.

She does have experience, and it's that experience that just might help lock in a win in November.

Just my opinion.

Other reasons he might consider Hillary as VP is because there are still a lot of Hillary supporters out there.

Also, whoever ends up in the White House has to win the hearts and minds of not only Independents, but soccer moms and Nascar dads as well.

There are a lot of soccer moms out there and they vote.

I'd love to see him turn the political world on its head and pick Sen. Chuck Hagel (R) - Nebraska. Without some true bipartisan spirit and action, we are screwed.

You're missing an important consideration hiker.

That being, many like me who wont vote for an Obama-Hillary team are Independents! We would most likely jump over to McCain.

Polls already show Obama has regained the Hillary supporters who initially fled after the primaries. So he would not gain many votes by choosing Her as VP.
He would however lose a lot by picking her, and unlike the life long loyal Dem's who weren't likely to vote for McCain when Hillary lost the primaries. The Independents he would lose by picking her would, and most likely end up adding to the McCain vote!
He would seal his defeat by such a move. IMO!!

Me too, and I believe that is what will happen!
If he fails to become President though I wonder what it will do to Hagel's career.

Fanta,

Good point.

My concern here is Obama picking a virtual unknown for VP, who would have to be sold to the electorate.

Whoever he picks will need to have the charisma and experience to help Obama's campaign win over McCain.

Obama has the advantage now, but a lot can happen in a few months.

IMO

Picking Sen. Chuck Hagel wouldn't be the worst move he could make.
