What about Florida Congressman Wexler for VP???
I saw Wexler speaking tonight with KeithO.

He's articulate as hell, he's on the same political page as Obama, and he's from
a key state, Florida.

I kinda like it.

Has there been any talk of Wexler?

4. I think he'd make a better speaker of the house

Since he has managed to do something that Pelosi hasn't - keep his spine.

Guarantee ya impeachment wouldn't be "off the table" with him.

6. I have to admit to not being too familiar with him...
Edited on Wed Jun-25-08 10:36 PM by TWriterD
but he definitely held my attention on KO this evening. I'm game for a "fire-breathing liberal" as VP, but my gut is saying go with someone with a military background to steal some of McCain's thunder. Tularetom suggested Speaker of the House -- yes.

8. We need Wexler in the House BAD!!!!
and he doesn't add heft to the ticket. I'd have no problem with him as VP but I don't think that would be the best use of our assets.
