Kudos to Hillary Clinton for a graceful and inspirational exit from the 08 race today. After her wins in Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania I felt she deserved to stay in this thing until the end of the primary season. So I do not begrudge her the battle she waged in the last couple of months. Besides, it makes Obama stronger going forward.
Having said that, I am not a fan of the idea of Hillary for VP. I am not opposed to the idea, but I don't believe it's in Obama or the party's best interest.
I stand by my dream VP selection: Chuck Hagel. He's a Republican so the chances are slim to none. But hey, Obama was my dream candidate a year ago and those chances looked slim then.
Short of a Hagel surprise, I stand by my other pick, Jim Webb. He gets some of the so called Hillary vote and delivers military experience and gravitas.
McCain's choice is tough to call. My gut tells me Charlie Crist, the governor of Florida. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Mitt Romney on the ticket either.
So let's go with Obama/Webb vs. McCain/Romney.
