Why Obama Should Announce Key Cabinet Members When He Announces His VP Choice
Putting Obama at the center of a team of rivals, all of them familiar, even venerable, pieces of political furniture would dampen the he's-not-one-of-us factor that is still his greatest danger.
Confederate Remembrance: Senator Webb, the Confederate Soldier and the Lost Cause
The simple facts is that the individual Confederate soldier -- from the lowest economic rung and in many cases disenfranchised as the slaves were -- fought for a variety of reasons.
Why Jim Webb Is Different -- And It's Not Just the Military Background
What I've always found so intriguing about Webb is the thing that makes him such a unique political animal -- he comes from the world of writing, rather than from professional politics.

US Military Needs the New GI Bill

Obama's Best Choice for Veep? Elizabeth Edwards
As a woman, she will help lure female Democrats, as a southerner, she'll help Obama win a few battleground states, and as a cancer survivor, she'll help shine a light on McCain's abysmal health plan.
William Kristol's Hypocrisy, Progressives' Blindness, Obama and the Military
The Obama campaign seems to have a tin ear/blind spot when relating to the military. This will cost us all if McCain wins because of it, but it will cost our military men and women most of all.

You just don't get it. Hillary supporters are turning a new page. We're gone and will make sure our votes count. McCain 08. It will be humorous seeing Obama try to pander to us. Obama and his mean supporters have done this to themselves. Even Hillary can't change the math for him.
Very funny post, Chris. And I don't smile often. Good job.
That's possibly the best thing I've read on HuffPost, with apologies to Bill Maher whose blogs I haven't seen much of here ... Eva Peron is a beautiful idea, the state-sponsored economic shock therapy and junta-forming magic combined with Obama being from the Chicago School (or at least being near a school in Chicago) is truly a winning combination.
Eva Peron would insulate Obama from being soft on terror. It would be easy for that ticket to play the terror by association card as Argentina was a neighbor during the original 9-11 of Chile in 1973 when Pinochet (with the help of the CIA and ITT) terrorized the country while Milton Friedman's Chicago School of economists busily worked on the a bible or brick of economic shock therapy to be put in place to privatize and plunder Chile. It's not really that different a worldview than Blackwater, so America should be ready for it.
very funny
the column and the posts
but go back to school,
where are we headed; what will probably happen; what is the worst that could happen???
you are all missing the obvious best pick
fortunately Obama is smarter than all of you and probably has him near the top of the list
you know, all of the speculating is moot, because Obama must have good chemistry with his vp and only he can evaluate that
and there is one issue where this candidate could be an achilles heel or a gift from god depending on whether he's strong enough to embrace the obvious
enough clues for now
(oh, it's not one of the Manning Brothers)
Co-Vice Presidents! Katie Couric and John Edwards. The three of them will look like the local news/weather/sports crew and they'll sweep all before them.
