He should and will pick a white male with military or foreign policy experience. He should also be a centrist. I like Jim Webb from West Virginia. If McCain choose Condi he's toast, and the 3rd Bush term tag will stick. Obama won’t pick a woman or minority as his running mate(sorry Richardson).

I’ve also no doubt at all that these liberals would fall in line and vote for Judas Iscariot for VP, as long as Obama’s name is at the top of the ticket.

I find that doubtful, though a cabinet position might very well be in play. Truth be told, if we are forced to endure an Obama presidency, we could do worse than Sam Nunn as Secretary of Defense.
