Who knows when Obama will declare his VP?

Who knows when Obama will declare who the vice pres candidate is? Likelihood of it being Clinton?

Clinton is not very likely in my opinion.
1. The VP will be a white middle aged male because both a black and a female running at once would be too risky for Obama. People want change, but I think he fears they don't want that much change at once.
2. The Clintons are too powerful, so Obama probably doesn't want Hilary too close.

The larger question is: Who really cares?

I want Obama to win over McCain. Who he picks as his VP could make a huge difference. I hope it isn't Hillary because I think there are choices that would better balance his ticket. My guess is he will pick a VP sometime in July.

Yes, I would rather see Obama win because Dems will play the good cop, but the Corporations always win either way, just a softer sell from Dems.

I think Obama should pick Hillary, for any number of good reasons. For one, you keep your friends close and your enemies closer. For another, I am very much looking forward to seeing the Dems run the "Driving Miss Daisy" ticket this Fall.

Not that I'm any fan of McCain, mind you. No matter who wins it will be business as usual in the government's hallowed halls, so this election is a non-starter for me.
