Caroline Kennedy for Obama's Vice President
Former GOP foe Mitt Romney is the rage in Sen. John McCain's circles as the Republican moves to pick a running mate with good business and economic creds—and moderately youthful good looks. But if you want a really juicy rumor, consider who some key Democrats want for Sen. Barack Obama's No. 2: his veep search aide, Caroline Kennedy. While many Democrats we talked to dissed the idea of a two-minority ticket, others feel it would boost the generational shift Obama represents. And, adds one fan of the idea: "Caroline is the good Kennedy." There's recent precedent. President Bush picked his vice presidential search team leader, Dick Cheney.

PRESIDENT & VICE PRES.
WHO DO YOU WANT AS YOUR ELECTED OFFICIAL TO REPRESENT YOU?
Best way is to make a check list with the pro's and con's of both candidate's and look at them side by side comparing them with your future goals to complete.
Myself I can't say I'm either party but I just can't find myself voting for a man who may not make it through his presidential term, who's only trying to accomplish his life long dream's to be president before he dies. Senator McCain has already had serious health issue's during his presidential running by being omittetd into the hospital for health problem's.
I feel it's time for a change which can be very unexpected at this point no matter the candidate but look at our economy falling to the wayside knowing that it will take someone young with enthusiasm to accomplish this long drawn out process after a previous screwed up president who sent our economy into recession deeply.
So, If your republican or democrat think about what is best for the country not just what's best for your political party and vote for the candidate that will bring positive long term goals to work.
This has nothing to to with a political party but America's future. Take a serious look before voting !
My Generation, C.K.
Caroline is my age and I remember watching her and her little brother when I was five years old...in the White House. I think she has broad experience, has most likely tracked politics closely through her family ties, and represents the modern version of a renaissance woman with diverse interests and depth and complexity in her thoughts. She also traveled quite a bit as a kid, and clearly has a graceful sense of international diplomacy, like her mom. Don't underestimate this soccer mom. I have been a fan of this particular one since I was in Kindergarten!
By the way, I was pitching for Hillary...but after hearing her, I feel like she needs a vocal coach before she tries to run again. Caroline is charismatic as well as tuned in and intelligent. In general the Kennedy's (in this particular clan) are over the top idealists...the type of idealism that comes with money...but are cultured enough to present a modest persona to those less fortunate. The biggest question would be, does Caroline want to be in line for one of the most dreadful jobs in the U.S. I suspect that she would ease into this slowly, so waiting for a cycle or two (and working her way up) would give her kids a chance to set up their own young adult lives. I'm one of those swing voters who voted for Clinton because he seemed to actually listen to what people wanted and said...and because I wasn't going to make the mistake of voting for a Bush a second time. Here's to My Generation, the tail end of the baby boomers, and Caroline Kennedy...our icon!
The Democratic ways is the best way
I know that the democratic way is the best way. It is the way that our Father planned for it to be .To all the ones that do not agree with it. "Get over it" the change is bound to happen!
