I find it sad that Crist has to deal with the gay rumors. Repub or not, I sympathize with him over that one subject.

Reed, Kaine, or Sebelius would seem to be the good ones for me. Dodd has Countrywide connections, something to sort of damage him a bit even if the "scandal" surrounding those connections was short-lived.

I don't think Dodd needs to worry too much about that.  It's a blip.

Crist is marrying soon, found a gal he loves.

Reed has removed himself from consideration.

I would puke if Obama selects Clinton.

Reed just said what they all say.  He didn't remove himself from consideration in the least.

Reed on the vice presidency: I want to stay in Senate

- The Providence Journal

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, the object of heightened speculation this week after his tour of Afghanistan and Iraq at the side of Barack Obama, today played down the suggestion that the Democratic presidential candidate would consider him as a running mate.

"I am interested in serving in the United States Senate and that interest trumps any consideration of serving as a vice president,'' Rhode Island Democrat Reed said in an interview this afternoon.

Reed was asked: "If you were offered this position you would decline, is that correct?''

"Yeah,'' he answered, "but I frankly I don't expect to be offered the position.''

Reed added, "I want to continue to be a legislator,'' and said he thinks he could best help an Obama administration "here in the United States Senate.''

Reed said, further, that he has not been asked by the Obama campaign to answer questionnaires, put investigators in touch with accountants, or take other such steps necessary for checking the background of a prospective vice president. That fact, Reed said, makes his point that a slot on Obama's ticket "is not an offer that I will have to refuse.''

[.]

Did he tell that directly to Obama?

"I've told everybody directly. It's not exclusive to Senator Obama or anyone else,'' Reed replied. "This is consistent. This is not changing. This is a decision I made years ago, basically.''
