You're right. That is exactly what we are thinking. |

The more I see him on Fox, the more I like him.
I think he could really pull the plug on Obama; a good number of Hillary Democrats would love him. They have to be dying inside looking at Obama and his Code Pink pals wondering, "Who the f*** are these people?" |

My own view is that Obama does seek out Gephardt.
For Sen. Obama, Gephardt brings an important swing state local with a good reputation and a party moderate that has strong credentials on protectionist trade and the political maturity that Sen. Obama lacks.
Gephardt may demurrer however. Obama's not an attractive candidate to a man with Gephardt's long public record of unsoiled associations.
Next we should anticipate Gov. Richardson. Gov. Richardson's resume to balance out the political maturity difficulty facing Sen. Obama and the Hispanic heritage so necessary for the type of African-American politician that Sen. Obama presents to the American latin community.
Richardson would clearly leap at the offer, however he showed himself during the campaign to be a swollen presence that couldn't sway and couldn't speak when given the odd-ball question. Add to this that he came off as treacherous to Sen. Clinton and you have to think that the Obama camp must be wondering what he'll do to them in the future.
If Gephardt gets and takes the nod, McCain has one clear perfect offset choice and that's John Kasich of Ohio.
Kasich vs. Gephardt would neutralize any advantage Gephardt would bring to the Obama ticket. A fellow 'working class' politician in comparison the Gephardt, one with an impeccable personal history and origin from critical Ohio, John Kasich would bring to McCain ballast to offset Gephardt while bringing a magnetic presence for blue collar swing voters in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, West Virginia and even, yes Missouri.
McCain need a strong, articulate voice like Kasich and so why not Kasich?
