The OVP List Arrives

With the nomination all but one, it's time to focus on the details...who's gonna be the VP? The O recruited some big names to help with the selection process for the Obama Vice Pres list. It's almost like the new American Idol has started already!

JFK's daughter Caroline Kennedy tops the list of judges, with former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson and former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder rounding out the panel. Should be a tough crowd to please.

CNN has a list of potentials [article], though there are only a few surprises. Obviously the Hill makes the list along with other 2008 hopefuls Dodd, Biden, Bloomberg, Edwards, and Richardson. Quite the deck to choose from.

I don't know about Dodd or Biden. Their age could compromise the inroads Obama has made in this area. Bloomberg may be too much of a wild card for the Dems. I think Edwards would be good, but it'd only bring in the same constituents Obama already has. Clinton or Richardson could help Obama most by bringing in where Obama lacks.

A few more names, both noteworthy and otherwise round out the list. Could it go to a well-known or a newcomer to the national stage? Can't wait to find out.
