Why do they keep doing this?

Looks like  republucan vice president candidate will be another token candidate chosen more for the illusion of political inclusionism than any real qualification. Stuff like this just makes Obama a stronger candidate.

This seems like a topic for the political forum.

Conan;  You seem to be assuming much..unless you have som inside information most of us are not privy to.  As far as I knw, at this date veep candidate has not yet been chosen.
  There are plenty of potentials..Mitch Daniels or theguy from Ohio although solid, may not excite many folks..
  ..But then there is the possibility of Marco Rubio, Condi Rice or Allen West.. all of whom can easily dd excitement to the ticket.
  Of corse, last go around, Sarah Palin added excitement..but some "conservatives" assisted Obama, by condemning her and spreading false rumors about her... playing directly into the liberal media's hands.
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)

I'm not sure the VP is as important to elections as we would wish. Look no further than the current VP. Am I to assume Joe delivers cross over votes for the Dems?

The news today is heavy with suggestions that Condoleeza Rice may be the pick. Check drudgereport.com, because they've aggregated a bunch of them.
 
Choice of VP was very significant in the last presidential election for the McCain campaign. (ie., Sarah Palin) It created a lot of buzz.
 
At least Rice has some foreign policy experience. Not sure if it's any good, though. She's tainted by having worked for GW Bush.
