    Barack Obama Watch: The Real Vice President?

    Is Team Obama “FIGHTING OFF” the Clintons for payment of their campaign debt by channeling Senator James Webb for Vice President?

    Another way to stop the Hillary-for-Veep speculation: Fire up some other speculation.

    And so Obama announced this morning that he’d be campaigning in Virginia with Senator Jim Webb and former Governor Mark Warner.

    Senator Webb has been touted as the Vice Presidential candidate who best augments the lack of military experience of Obama, comes from a possible pick-up state in the Electoral College, Virginia, and is a former Reagan Republican.

    Flap thinks Webb is in the running and look at what Intrade says this morning:

    As of this morning, Webb’s stock is up and Hillary’s is down. Obama has to balance the loss of white working class women who are pissed at him for beating Hillary with bolstering his foreign policy and military credentials.

    An Evan Bayh from Indiana would be a “SAFE” choice.
