007, Okay, I do agree with you on the mortgage thing, but I do think it would help Obama combat in Conn. especially if Liberman was McCain's VP. But like I said before, I dont think it will play too much of a role. I think its a long shot for McCain to have a chance in Conn., he is currently losing by 15 points.

I think the best idea as far as geography will be Kaine of Virgina or Richardson of NM.

Dodd could have been a great VP pick. But his sweetheart mortgage deal pretty much deep sixed his chances. Even if Dodd did nothing wrong....even the whiff of it is bad news for Obama and not something he needs right now.

Dodd would be a great choice for VP. I dont think it will matter to much in the geographical game, but I think Dodd would be a better VP than many of the people the Republicans are vetting.

Dodd has foreign policy experience, Dodd is a moderate, he shares Obama's christain values, and he really speaks to the needs of Iowans well. I must say that I am first looking out for my state :) but a very good choice none the less.
