So whats with the new round of SUSA?

I just got by there. They just did CA, PA, and NM Obama vs McCain surveys, then compared them given various VP choices.

The good news is Obama does well. But I found their VP choices for Obama to be a bit odd. Edwards, Sebelius, Rendell, and Hagel. Hagel sucked the ticket down in virtualy every case. And why would we want to elect a Republican, even if he wasnt a confirmed drag on the ticket? Rendell? Has anyone who wasn't paid to do so ever considered him? Seriously? And why would they leave off Hillary or Wesley, who both seem like much more likely choices?

1. Yah I know. Where is Richardson, Webb, Biden ..etc.?!!

2. Don't know about Wesley

He is definitely more probable than Rendell. I think they left Hillary off because she is still a candidate technically and it would be presumptuous.

3. The Democratic Party has plenty of good

people we don't need to resort to a reTHUG on the ticket.

4. Rendell has a Farrakhan problem......

and that's one thing Obama doesn't need.

5. That's probably who the people at SUSA like...or maybe a focus group

6. based on name recognition and current political support (good lobby groups)

7. Wesley's not good in interviews & Hillary???? You are kidding, right??

right?? right??

Hillary can be White-Queen of Appalachia, but that's about IT.

8. Wesley clark is way higher on my list than Hagel

Any Dem is. And while I don't care for Clinton, I really don't care for Rendell. Plus, while I may be wrong, I think that she is a much better known name than he, and a much greater likelyhood.
