Possible Veeps for Obama

The talk has been out there for weeks now, but now that Obama's nomination win looks inevitable, there is no doubt pundits will be pontificating on well-known (and not so well-known) politicians contending for the spot.

The Mother Jones website has a great piece out on Obama's possible VP choices, their strengths and weaknesses.

The writer doesn't mention Hillary Clinton since that issue has been examined already. I personally don't think an Obama-Clinton ticket can work. In my experiences talking with Democratic voters, many Obama supporters are disaffected voters that don't trust Clinton. And I also think he's a stronger candidate against McCain than the hated Hillary.
