Obama Veepstakes

Politico reports that Obama's VP search committee is floating the name of Ann Veneman as a possible running mate. Like that will happen.

Evidently, the reason Ms. Veneman is a viable selection is that she's a Republican who served as Agriculture Secretary during W's first term. Naturally, the netroots are just clamoring for Obama to pick a Republican with close ties to Bush rather than a loyal Democrat.

Also, nobody has ever heard of her, so she has that going for her.

Yup, this is definitely the year the Dems pick an anonymous, Bush-tainted Republican to put on the ticket.
