Obama VP Revealed?
Newsweek rules out Clinton (duh), as well as Bayh and Kaine, as Obama's vice-president, citing the DNC speaker lineup... "Obama will definitely choose a national-security expert--like Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joe Biden; Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska; Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island or Sam Nunn, former Georgia senator and one-time Armed Services Committee chairman--as his running mate."
My top-choice would be Hagel, followed by Biden, who was my original choice for the nomination. This makes sense. Obama needs to shore-up his foreign policy credentials, and both -- especially Biden -- are willing to skirmish with the other side on the issue.
Obama/Hagel, or Obama/Biden. It always looks better when there are equal number of letters on both sides of the ticket.

One of the few choices that would upset liberals and Democratic party insiders more than Bayh would be Hagel. Obama can’t pick someone who only agrees with him on foreign policy and who refuses to endorse him. So stop smoking that funny stuff.

Hegel would be an inspired choice, especially to burnish Obama’s credentials on security, foreign experience, and, most of all, bipartisanship.
