If I were a US citizen, Democrat would be my first choice, having said that, who is going to be Barack Obama’s running mate? Some of the criteria are:

  • How well one works and gets along with Obama will be his running mate
  • Somebody who can become president in the case of a tragedy


Hillary Clinton is too contentious a figure, she did ran for nomination and failed to out gun Obama, if they ever hook up, this would be a strange love hate relationship. On top of that, she has a strong leadership, doubt she would like the idea of being under someone.

Richardson would be a good choice because he has the international experience Obama lacks. He also has a strong supporter base in the Southwest, and a good track record as Gov.

John Edward is currently facing a scandal, plus, he did mention about not running for vice president again. This leaves us with one obvious choice - Bill Richardson.

An online survey of 4000 people voice their support for John Edward, but I guess roping in Hillary Clinton in as VP would effectively seal Obama hopes of becoming the next president. Yes, Clinton has the support, I believe Obama can work out some sort of agreement with Clinton, for instant Obama can make way for Clinton after 4 years in office, paving the way for Clinton to take over as president, this would be a win win situation. The dream team.
