Apologize for the drive-by diary, but with all the Hillary, Webb VP diaries littering the right hand column. I thought I would weigh in myself.
I understand the VP selection is a critical point in this election. We need someone that's not to cool, not too hot, but just right.
Speculating on whether Hillary, Webb, McCaskill, Clark, Edwards, etc, etc is fun and I have engaged in it myself.
But here is the point of this diary/comment:
We have just witnessed a incredibly effective strategic campaign that was sharp on message and tactics. I do not think that anyone would have predicted with confidence - even up to the eve of the Iowa caucus - that Barack Obama and his team could pull of a stunning upset of the largest force in Democratic politics. If there is one conclusion we can all agree on - these folks know what they are doing. There is no doubt about it. The arguments for and against particular VP candidates put forth here on the dKos are not going to have any impact.
Now I do not have any illusion that this comment will have any impact on the number of VP diaries that are going to have to fill the vacuum left by the Hillary is evil diaries which filled the void left by the candidate diaries after the big strike.
However, I can predict that, whomever the Obama campaign chooses, no matter what the reaction to that selection is on DKos, come November we will agree that it was a wise and strategic choice just as was the choice to organize like crazy and build up huge leads in ID, AK, KS, WY, MD...(insert Dean scream here ;} ). Not just wise and strategic for winning the presidency, but also for building a working majority that will get stuff done.
