For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: will a moderate VP pick by Obama anger the left?
At this point, the belief is Obama is about to announce his Veep choice, and it is rumored to be down to Joe Biden, Evan Bayh, and Tim Kaine. Yet, the King of the Netroots, Markos Moulitsas, is unhappy with all three:
Biden voted for the Iraq war. But beyond that, even if we stipulate that he has foreign policy chops, how does that make him a good veep choice?...Sure, compared to Bayh and Kaine, Biden looks almost passable, but that's a low hurdle to pass. I'd rather not have to choose my poison.
Is this VP pick important? Or will all the grumbling be forgotten in November?
