Of Veepstakes diaries there is no shortage, nor end in sight, and the contention can only increase: Peak Roil is still ahead of us. But a Veepstakes sans doggerel is a consummation devoutly to be squished. Warning: if you make the jump, you'll encounter some of the versed of DKos.
WE NEED A VEEP!
We need a Veep who's standing tall;
Who will not creep, or belly-crawl
But who to pick? Aye, there's the rub
Don't want to goof, and dub some flub
Or contra, snub considerees
Who could make good as nominees
"Let's get Tim Kaine," I've heard it said:
"He'll turn Virginia Blue from Red."
But some retort, "Hey not so fast;
Kaine's vast plans turned out half-vast."
Sebelius, the Kansas guv --
Another whom I've heard much of --
A fine potential candidate,
Whose boosters say "Hey, Kate is great!
She brings in Indies, Goopers too,
And turned her State's top spot to Blue."
Her speeches tend to be prosaic
Won't excite them in Passaic,
Or the North/South Carolinas
(Not clear there she's plus, or minus)
What may be Obama's plans, as
Like as not, ain't fixed on Kansas
Then, of course, there's Claire McCaskill
Feisty, smart, could kick some rascal
Gooper's butt in Veep debating
But I'm thinking, I'd be hating
Losing her as Senator
Why, who'd replace her on that floor?
I'd be full of doubt, and worry
Who succeeds her from Missouri?
Here's as good a place to quit
As any; you make sense of it
And find that lady, or that gent:
Our optimum Vice President
So please feel free to be commmenting
Help with our Vice-Presidenting
Voice your choice; if Kossacks wince,
Why, it's your duty to convince!
We need a Veep! We need the best!
Perhaps the one that you'll suggest.
