Reply #19: Using Webb Wisely [View All]

I think that whoever the nominee is, s/he should use Webb wisely. This means:

1. Give him a prominent slot at the convention, to speak about the war in Iraq from a personal perspective.

2. Campaign with him extensively in Virginia.

3. Invite him to battleground states with large military family populations.

But I hesitate at having him on the ticket this early into his elected public service.

Clark still intrigues me, though that's the extent of it.

I assume you meant to say that there is a 100% chance Edwards would NOT pick Clinton?

Recent polling in OH seemed to show that the Buckeye State doesn't see Strickland as Veep timber yet; probably better to just use him wisely too.

Honestly, I'm drawing a complete blank on other governors who are seasoned enough to fit the bill. Mark Warner of Virginia would still make a great choice, in my book, but I think it's clear he intends to clinch the safe Senate seat instead. I'm sure there's at least one governor I'm overlooking, but coming up snake's eyes so far.
