Names throw around:

Hagel .... Lot of push to basically tell the GOP to enjoy Libermann as Hagel
just converted over to the Winning side ... I know he has had it with the
GOP and he’s impeccably qualified for national office, has a commanding presence and grasp of military and national security issues and would vividly illustrate Obama’s declarations that his candidacy represents an effort to unite blue states and red states

Gen. Wesley Clark has been a longtime favorite of mine who addresses a lot of Obama's weaknesses. As former head of NATO, Clark would give him a military, security, and foreign policy advisor (sorely needed) and a military, security, and foreign policy attack dog against McCain (if needed). Clark is very progressive, he is very smart, and his resume is clean. Clark has big time credibility in Europe and, with bridge-maker Obama, would instantly repair America's tattered international reputation.

Former Marine Jim Webb would be a great choice for many of the same reasons. While Clark is a intellectual crowd guy, Webb is a hardnosed everyman. He is anti-iraq with a military background and is a straight and forceful talker. Webb just looks like he could break you in half. His speaking and debate skills are very plain, but top notch. Mainstream America gets him. He would be an excellent attack dog on the stumbling McCain. Frankly, if we lose, I could see Webb as the rising star for the Dems in 2012. He is a beast and Virginia has 13 electoral votes and went red last time. He could deliver virginia and maybe help deliver a few southern states.
