We are the change, right?
I posted this on Obama's official site:
Assuming that the selection has not already been made, I was thinking it would be interesting to combine making our voices heard with the opportunity to make a donation. My thinking is that those of us who are willing to join Senator Obama's official campaign website AND make a donation should be given an opportunity to express our choice for the most viable VP. For example, if you made at least a $10 donation you could sign into this site and either select from a list of known contenders OR write in someone that you think would make a strong choice, perhaps accompanied by your reasoning, i.e., strong in national defense or able to help in a particular swing state, etc. I personally keep thinking that General Wesley Clark would bring outstanding balance to the team. Anyway, I think it would be an interesting opportunity for the two million people who have supported Senator Obama, even though I do feel that he rightly ultimately makes the choice that fulfils his own unique strategy and vision.
My thought is that just as we are financially supporting Senator Obama's campaign, we ought to offer our thoughts, prayers and condemnations. I'm clearly NOT saying that he should take the VP with the most votes, but perhaps be cautious about taking someone who is clearly unpopular for, perhaps, good cause.
