The veep race
The primaries got off to an unusually early start, and so has the vice presidential speculation. It’s never too early to make a fool of yourself with wildly off base predictions, so here are my musings:
Giuliani and Romney: Newt Gingrich seems to be the obvious choice for either one of these guys. Jeb Bush is also an obvious possibility, and Romney’s mentioned him.
McCain: Huckabee would be perfect.
Huckabee: Paul Waldman suggests Sam Brownback. That makes a lot of sense to me.
Hillary: I’ve been saying Wes Clark for some time now. Joe Biden, Jim Webb, and Tom Vilsack are all obvious choices as well.
Obama: Mark Warner seems perfect, but like Waldman says, he’s running for senate right now. Nick Pell keeps telling me Biden. I’m going to bet on Russ Feingold.
Edwards: Richardson would make sense, but Richardson may have cut a deal with Obama, hurting his chances. Kathleen Sebelius would good, but she might eclipse Elizabeth Edwards. Feingold would be a good match for Edwards as well.
