No way.
The chances of Stele from Ohio are more if Obama is nominee.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm wagering on Jim Webb from VA who beat George 'Macaca' Allen in last Senate elections. That is if Hillary declines or is denied VP ticket.
Several things going for him: Jim's from South, he's White, appeals to the gun-toting types - a demographic that Obama has not had any success with as evident again last night in Kentucky.
Like his father he too has served in military and the only Senator with his son currently serving in Iraq. 3 generations of family in military matches McCain family's military service.
And he's not shy of a good fight <!--emo&:felx--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/flex.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='flex.gif' /><!--endemo-->
