VP Klobuchar Watch: Amy makes list of potential Obama running mates
Filed under: VP Pawlenty Watch
Will Senator Amy Klobuchar become our nation's next vice president? It's hard to keep track of all the many factors at play--OK, it isn't, there's only one factor at play. But the VP Pawlenty Meter (TM) gimmick is working well so we decided to franchise it out.
Tim Pawlenty isn't the only Minnesotan with a chance to land on a presidential ticket this year. The influential Democratic site TPM Cafe recently named Senator Klobuchar on a list of potential VP candidates for Obama:
In any case, he should pick a woman and any other woman will raise the question "why not Hillary."My guess. He goes with Clinton or with Governors Sebelius (KS) or Napolitano (AZ) or Senators McCaskill (MO) or Klobuchar (MN).
We're putting the odds of a VP Klobuchar at 20 to 1 to start, with exacta betting on a Klobuchar/Pawlenty VP ticket starting at 100 to 1.

Dear Fellow Americans.
Our Great-grand Nation, the United States of America
is and will face very critical and substantial
"Challenges" in coming,
months, years, and decades.
It is very essential that we pick our next
President on the basis of following criteria.
1. A candidate with a clear "Vision and Mission".
2. A candidate with a sound " Character and Integrity"
.
3. A candidate with a evident "Presidential
Temperament" and " Principled Judgment".
4. A candidate with "little "Washington exposure"
and "real future and past Voters".
5. A candidate who "Inspires us up" rather than
"Tears us down".
6. A candidate not based on past "sexism, racism, and
ageism".
In my professional and personal opinion, the only
candidate who has shown the above qualities and
characteristics is Senator Obama.
As an independent registered voter since 1980. I voted
for Carter, voted for Reagan, voted for First Bush,
and second Bush in 2000 and In over time last
interest in "Washington politics".I stopped voting.
Not a good idea under any circumstance, particularly
at present time.
This time we can not afford to stay on side lines and
let Washington remain the same.We can not afford our
Greatgreat Nation to become less than what we are and
can be.
We need to send clear and candid message to the world
and some 24 hour partisan piosonous hateful media.
These type of media outlets are trying to deprive,
dupe, and derail us from getting it right this time.
I pray and hope that we the American people won't be
part of this deception, seduction, and confusion.
These type of media and pundits are trying there best
to deny us better and replac our past remember some of
our bitterness and differences. { "Our Greatgrand
Nations people are persistently and constantly
subjected to Psychological terrorism" without our
knowledge by these these poisonous hateful partisan
media outlets".
We Americans are should not and would not to allow
these type of media psychologically terrorized,
traumatized and silence us this time.Not this time.
I am sure that we will get it right this
time and elect Senator Obama our next President. let
us not get dragged down into racism, sexism and
ageism.
Let us remember that our Greatgrand is constituted of
family, friends,fellowships, faith, funds,foundations,
fun, and future with fairness and freedom and without
fear or favor.
We can not afford to lose any of above conectins. Let
us stand up, be counted, save, build our Greatgrand
Nation for decades to come and regain our world
economic, and power status back.
God Bless our Great grand Nation and its diverse
people.
Our Greatgrand nation needs present and future
stability, security, safety,sustained progress and
restoration of our due status in this perilous Global
World at the all levels.
Yours sincerely,

Shut up dude. Do you think anyone is gonna read that shit? Do you think anyone cares about your voting history? For real, send your sappy, emotional, unifying message bullshit to the Strib.

I love Amy, but choosing her as a VP would be a bad idea when one of the biggest criticism's of Obama is inexperience. Plus, Amy has done amazing work in the Senate, let her stay for a while. There is no chance this will happen.
