GOP Envisions Gephardt as Possible Obama Running Mate
The former House majority leader appeals to key constituencies, but his lobbying work may rule him out

LoL @ Glen
It looks to me as if some children did get left behind...
Anyway, as long as Hillary is not a choice, Obama is cool with me.
NO TO GEPHARDT
NOT AGOOD CHOICE!
glen?
Hossine? Borned? WTF? Does the State of Texas not teach grammar, phonics or spelling anymore? Did they ever? Get an education and maybe your opinion won't be a joke.
obama vp.
It want matter who hossine obama picks as vp, for all of the people who vote will se him as a muslim to which he is. Borned a muslim, you die a muslim, but i will agree if john(pablo) Mccain does not get his act together soon Bob Barr will clean both of their plows.
Gephardt
Obama and Gephardt ticket probably will guarantee the lose of independent voters. This combination will be the most libral ticket the Democrats can find. Obama can not afford another libral on the ticket.
Gephardt
"Gephardt is the one we're most afraid of," said a key GOP strategist and Bush ally.
Translation " "Gephardt is the one we're least afraid of".
Duh - classic misdirection. The Republicans probably have something on Mr Gephardt. These guys may be venal, but they ain't stupid - they just think we are.
Gephardt may actually be a good choice for Obama
Gephardt may actually be a good choice for Obama seeing that he has the pulse of the traditional democratic base "blue collar" workers and farmers. Although I do not see him as an exciting VP choice, he has congressional experience and thus an "insiders knowledge" that Obama will need to get his vision of what he wants to do to occur in Washington. I see him as adding a stable gravitas to Obama's youthful optimisic enthusiasm and vision. He maybe like George Bush's Dick Cheney. The parallel being an outsider with fresh ideas is paired with someone who knows what it takes to get things done.
