I agree but for one point: Evan Bayh would be a better VP choice for Hillary, since he should help the Democrats carry Indiana for the first time in 44 years and help in neighboring Ohio as well. Bayh would also play well in the border states of Missouri, Kentucky, and West Virginia, and Arkansas and Louisiana as well. Obama adds nothing to the Democrat equation: Illinois has been a Democratic "lock" since 1992, and blacks vote for the Democrats in margins of 8:1 or better.

Another possible choice for Hillary is Bill Richardson of New Mexico. He should carry his home state, and, given his Hispanic background, would be an asset in Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada, all of which have been "light red". He may also help in Florida, especially in heavily Cuban-American Dade County. With the probable rise of the Hispanic vote into double digit range in the near future, especially if amnesty is passed, Richardson may be a good long term investment for the Democrats.

Won't Happen; Like Al Gore in TN down south or J. Edwards (he reminds me most of John Edwards..). People in our state know that he will tell Constiuents 1 Thing back home; then vote the totally opposite way in washington, D.C. just like John Edwards/Barron Hill, ect..

He won't win in a Presidnetal Race; I wouldn't put tooo much faith in Sintor Bayh..I will fight against him!!..
