How about Chris Dodd as Obama's VP? Senator Dodd's prowess not only lies in economic issues but also extends to foreign policy as well as crafting significant domestic legislation.

The past few months of the spying debate do reveal both the promise and residual frailty of this mildly resurgent Democratic Party.
