Well, I don't know...maybe we all put too much emphasis on the VP. Maybe if our candidate can't win on his own, because he's basically re-running the 04 campaign (with the "that's not fair!" strategy), then that's on the democratic base who picked him.
You lost me on him re-running the '04 election?
I honestly don't think Obama's VP choice is going to be as important as McCain's.......both due to McCain's age and a lot of the Republican base isn't very fond of McCain......his choice will be a make or break for him.
