Race for Dick Cheney's job

I would imagine it's about time to start placing bets on the Democratic and G.O.P tickets.

McCain and Romney seem really grouchy with each other so I don't think they can work together. How about a McCain/Huckeby ticket?

Obama and Clinton would be a powerful combo but I don't think they'd do well together either. How about an Obama/Edwards ticket.

Do you think that with Edwards' populist bent and Obama's fresh "outsider" reputation that this combo could work?

Thoughts. WRONG!!! PAT BUCHANAN!

Conventional wisdom has McCain/Guliani in an all 'Hawk' ticket, although McCain/Huck would certainly bring in the Southern and "Evangelical" vote. Either way, "Mr. Smooth" Romney is left out in the cold.

Is there a chance of a "DREAM Team" on the Democratic side? Hillarack or Oballary? Freddie "The Beetle" Barnes, what say ye? I don' think that there's anyway that Hillary accepts the number two post. For her this isn't about transforming the country, it's about personal ambition. As for Obama, he may be the quintessential post-partisan, coalition/consensus-building, aisle-crosser, but I just can't see anyone getting over the way that he husband has treated him. Sure, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but he just doesn't need to have to be looking over his shoulder to see if the Clintons have his back or if they're about to stab him in the back.

LOOK, (says Pat Buchanan, again) if he's SERIOUS about including Republicans in his administration, he'll ask Ron Paul to be his running mate- of course, after this week's cover article in the New Republic, that would be like Lincoln running with Jefferson Davis or maybe Nathan Bedford Forest. Lefties would LOVE Obama to go with Edwards, but Edwards is a class-warrior and a borderline Socialist- Obama is pulling Independents and even some disillusioned Republicans, he'd lose them with Edwards, Edwards is too left leaning. What's more, Edwards is a White, Southern Male, he's got his pride, he'd turn Obama down if offered.I expect Barrack will ask Bill Richardson and thereby court the Hispanic vote.

WRONG! Richardson watched the Superbowl with his old pal William Jefferson Clinton. I predict that Obama WILL pick a woman, but NOT Hillary- Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius or Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano thus creating the most difficult to pronounce Presidential ticket in memory- either Obama/Sebelius or Obama/Napolitano!

Elenor Cliff, WHAT IF HILLARY IS INDEED THE NOMINEE?

Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, without a doubt the blandest, whitest, mealy-mouthiest girly man since George HERBERT Walker Bush. She wants it clear who wears the pants and who'd in charge and she wants to make sure that there's no possible way that her Vice President could be someone anyone would seriously consider as a possible successor to her, thus leaving the way open for a Chelsea Clinton candidacy in 2016.

Predictions??!?
