Sherrod Brown is a great choice for VP

Upside:
- Better chance of taking Ohio.
- He won in a red state against a Rethug despite being pro gay rights, pro stem cells, pro abortion, and anti war. Unapologetically D to the core!
- Did I mention he was anti-war?
- Opposes NAFTA. I can see BO and him tag teaming McCain in the Midwest and Pennsylvania. He's the only potential VP choice I know of who strongly opposes NAFTA.
- Good debater. Has a good gravely voice.
- Nice all American last name to balance Barack's worldly appeal. (for Joe Sixpack's consumption of course)
- Brainy. He is a teacher. Wife Connie Schultz has won the Pulitzer.



Downside:
- No foreign policy credentials.
- A newbie, which can be good or bad. The image of two outsiders wanting to take back Washington from filthy corruption is undeniably attractive.


Conclusion: Anyone see anything wrong with this? The only argument I can see against him is lack of foreign policy, which I admit is big. But can we make up for that by slamming NAFTA, CAFTA, etc?

Who?

And now is not the time for little name recognition. Maybe last year.

Because last year a lot of folks were asking the same question about Obama, but he's had time to show 'em.

I'm a little concerned about a lack of perceived foreign policy credentials too. The bumber stickers would be sort of funny though. Obama/Brown!

No foreign policy credential, and a newbie.
