I saw Carl Rove on Fox talking about picking a VP. He said you could pick one who would help you to get elected or someone you felt would be best qualified to be president if something happened to you. He made the case to Bush that Cheney was a bad choice when it came to helping him get elected. Bush said he wanted Cheney because he could help him to govern effectively and he had confidence in him if he was no longer able to serve. He told Rove that he knew selecting Cheney was a political problem and it is your job to deal with that. The ideal VP candidate in 2012 if you are worried about getting elected is Marco Rubio. You must win Florida and he would appeal to Hispanic voters. I can't see which criteria was used by Obama in picking Biden. IMO Hillary Clinton would be a better choice for both objectives.

New York’s Marxist epicenter ................................................................................. October 16, 2011 by Charles Gasparino nypost.com The standard portrayal of the Wall Street protesters goes something like this: Ragtag group of unemployed young adults, venting often incoherent but overall legitimate populist outrage about economic inequality. But go down to the movement’s headquarters, as I did this past weekend, and you see something far different. It’s not just that knowledge of their “oppressors” -- the evil bankers -- is pretty thin, or that many of them are clearly college kids with nothing better to do than embrace the radical chic of “a cause.” I found a unifying and increasingly coherent ideology emerging among the protesters, which at its core has less to do with the evils of the banking business and more about the evils of capitalism -- and the need for a socialist revolution. It’s not an overstatement to describe Zuccotti Park as New York’s Marxist epicenter. Flags with the iconic face of the Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara are everywhere; the only American flag I saw was hanging upside down. The “occupiers” openly refer to each other as “comrade,” and just about every piece of literature on offer (free or for sale) advocated socialism in the Marxist tradition as a cure-all for the inequalities of the American economic system.
