Biden was also mentioned. In the test some of us took as to who our presidential candidate would be...when the entire group was running.. it was indicated by the results that Biden would be my candidate...

>>The plus side is that the ticket might - only might - get more competitive in some states where Obama was weak with poor voters.<<

Dale -

You're correct, in my opinion, saying it only might get more competitive.

The way I see it, if, for example, 16% of people in Kentucky openly admit to being unwilling to ever vote for a black man, why would they care who's number two on the ticket? Why should the fact that Clinton was VP matter? I don't think it would, unless they believed, as some of them have also openly said they do, that no black president would survive long.

Are there any good black candidates for the VP slot?
