I Honestly Don't Care About The VP Pick

I feel as though I should care more, but I can't get that worked up about it. I'm just ready to find out, get the whole she-bang of the convention over with, and start with some real general election campaigning.

There are several people Obama could pick. Each one has their own pros and cons, and none of them are a deal-breaker for me:

• Joe Biden--He's got the national security and foreign policy credentials, but he's not as well-known outside the East Coast.

• Evan Bayh--He has Midwestern appeal, but his full-fledged support of the Iraq war would provide a discomforting contrast to Obama's opposition. Also, he's incredibly boring.
  

• Tim Kaine--A well-respected Southern governor, but again largely unknown outside of his own region.

• Wesley Clark--A great Democrat with the best security and foreign policy credentials of anyone. The only problem is that he dared to tell the truth about John McCain, so we'll never be able to own that media narrative.
  

• Kathleen Sebelius--See above, just replace "Southern" with "Midwestern." And the PUMA crowd would bitch and moan about how ONLY Hillary Clinton should be allowed to crack the glass ceiling.

• Bill Richardson--Good credentials, would help put the Southwest in play. And it would all be for naught as he's the WORST campaigner.

• Hillary Clinton--Ok, scratch that. I do have my limits.

My point is, Obama's VP selection is not going to be perfect. There will be plenty of people who are going to be angry tomorrow (at least, we hope the announcement will be tomorrow). But we're electing a President, not a VP. I honestly can't see Obama allowing his VP to have the level of power and influence Dick Cheney had. It's time to stop with the hand-wringing and get this show on the road.
