For Discussion: Pundit's One Clue on VP Picks MOREHEAD, KY (WEKU) - Clueless on Obama. I have to own up to the fact that I don't have much of an idea concerning Obama's VP selection and don't have much of an idea of how he's thinking about the issue either. Sebelius, Biden, Tom Kaine, Evan Bayh--they're all objectionable. Sebelius, Kaine, and Bayh are all relatively non-partisan moderates. Outside Sebelius being a female candidate, who's going to get excited about any of them. As for Biden, talk about the politics of the past! Biden peaked in 1988. Maybe Biden would be better than the faceless moderates, but that's not saying much. As a "moderate with a face," Obama obviously is not thinking of other moderates as "faceless." So I'm clueless. But I'm hardly alone in my cluelessness. Nobody on the Democratic side has a good idea of what Obama has decided. McCain and the Lieberman Factor.
It's easier with McCain. I'm quite certain that John McCain wants Joe Lieberman to be his vice-presidential candidate and is deciding whether he's willing to take the Republican Party blowback from nominating Lieberman. If McCain decides that he can get away with nominating Lieberman, I think it will be Lieberman. If McCain decides to go with a conventional Republican, it will probably be Tim Pawlenty. I can see Mitt Romney as having a chance as well. But it's all about Lieberman now.
