I guess the selection of a vp for obama must be pretty strategic given KY, WV, and some of the other states he lost. What else would narrow the gap between McCain-Obama?
Anyway you cut it, many of these remaining states have been ravaged by the bush** administration.
I think that Strickland, Rendell, Kaine, etc, would all be good choices in this regard.
Rendell is a tough call.
Pennsylvania had the longest primary season and he's been inextricably linked to Hillary Clinton. A sudden tie in with Obama would look strange to the state's residents.
WV definately has same with KY. SD is a split (agriculture has gone gangbusters the past 3 years but prior to that SD was trashed), Montana is getting the crap kicked out of it. Oregon is getting pillaged.
4.5 out of 5...
