VP

Over at The Huffington Post there's a story up that (indirectly) outlines why I think Wes Clark would be a great VP nominee choice for the Obama campaign. He would fit in nicely with the Obama message, is smart and not reactionary about foreign policy, and is credible to attack John McCain on one of his biggest perceived strengths: foreign/military policy. As soon as Obama starts attacking McCain directly, the McCain campaign can point to his lack of experience and military service (as they have with the debate over the 'new' GI Bill of Rights). That's a sticky situation, but in reality McCain is vulnerable on this issue given the right position for attack, which makes a retired general with progressive political views and a dedicated netroots base a great choice for Obama.

To understand what I'm getting at, I highly recommend you read the HuffPo article.
