On that fateful night later this year when we all go to vote for the next President and the rest of the ticket down the line; when we all are sitting around the television and waiting for the returns, let me do a little prognosticating and given some possible insights as to what to look for and the possible outcomes for that important night. Read on!

So now we take a new look at the best VP choices for Senator Obama. I do not believe it is too early to talk about this as I believe Barack will now become our Party Leader. (No offense to Hillary Clinton supporters here. She is great and as I am a loyal and lifetime Democrat, I appreciate her time in this campaign, but it is apparent that it is time for the party to come together and rally behind Barack). So let us look at what I feel is the top 7 candidates for Senator Obama.

So, we enter into an amazing moment. Tomorrow of course is Superdupermegagiantic Tuesday, and though it will NOT bring us Dems a leader, it will make the vetting process even more crucial. Barack or Hill? Hill or Barack? Or maybe, Even Steven??? For all you polictical junkies, you will be watching at the edge of your seat as the returns come in. So what to look for, how does one know which way the political wind is blowing?
Well I have some ideas after the fold:

My fellow Americans, tonight I say to you that the State of this Union is Fragile at best and Fraught with Dangers untold at worst.

Though I am new here to the Daily Kos, I am not new to politics, blogs, threads or giving my two cents worth of opinions. I am proud to be a Shameless Agitator. What does that mean exactly? It means to be an activist in politics, an advocate for a cause or causes and a person willing to "go to bat" for those people who feel they have no voice or no presence in the wheels of government. Here's my story:

February 5th. Remember that date. 20.. count them 20 states hold their primaries and caucuses. Twenty who's total delegate count add up to 2,062. That's just over 50% of the delegates that would be needed to win the nomination. I could have never imagined super Tuesday looking this way; still this is how it goes. Imagine for a moment that YOU are the candidate and are facing this huge block of states that will be in play. What would be your strategy? Where would you spend your advertising dollars? Where would you be in person the most? Are there any states you really don't want to put alot of effort into in favor of larger delegate rich states?
Lets take a look at Superduper Tuesday:

Ok, so thank goodness we on the left got on the road to taking back the media, especially talk radio a few years back. Whether you love Air America or the Jones Radio Network or your own local independent radio station; Liberal/Progressive talk is flourishing and growing everday. For all of us who love listening on a daily or near daily basis, we have grow to love our Talkers. So in this venue, I present the question and poll of the day.
Who is YOUR favorite Talker?

Well Hillary Clinton may be elected our first female President (which would be more than ok with me, she'd make a fine President as would any of the Dems) but whom else of the fairer sex would have been or made a great President in her own right? Let's take a look:

Just for fun I offer a little distraction from your day and from all the seriousness for a moment to challenge all you "Kossacks" to little stretch of the mind and ask you this question?
What would be the Ultimate, All-time Greatest Democratic Political ticket?
The rules are simple: Any candidate of the Democratic party from any time period past or present can be used
to present what you think would be the Ultimate All-time Political Ticket.
