Vice President is a position of political purgatory. Candidates choose their running maters for their popularity in key states and the acceptance of an invisibility cloak after the election. Dick Cheney has been an exception although the Press has been so softball throughout the 8 years of GW Bush's reign that most Americans can't name the VP.

Obama is not choosing this path and the media is awaiting the announcement of the man a heartbeat away from the presidency. The favorite in Joe Biden from Delaware.
Hillary is a 500 to 1 shot.
Personally I like Bill Richardson of New Mexico. He has a beard.
I'm about 200 million to 1.
I have no beard, but I'm still waiting by the phone to serve my country.
