I do think that there are so many disgruntled moderate Republicans that the right Republican as VP for Obama might attract independent
and Republican voters. But it might hurt him with Democrats.

I can see Richardson as Secretary of State.

Evan Bayh is being named as a possible VP He stood with Hillary, but he did not back her up on the Bosnian lie as I felt Wesley Clark did, so I suppose I could see Bayh as VP.

I will read up on the VP possibles I know nothing about before I babble anymore.
