LOL! Wikipedia does not prove your silly concept.

The fact is, Obama will choose who he wants to choose. If he wants Hillary, it will be Hillary. If he wants Webb it will be Webb. If he wants Richardson, it will be Richardson.

I have. If you took the time to read the OP then you would know this. Try posting some rules that support your position instead of just saying it isn't so.

No, you haven't. You've posted from wikipedia, a site that anyone can change at any time, this:

...the presidential nominee has considerable influence on the decision, and in 20th century it became customary for that person to select a preferred running mate, who is then nominated and accepted by the convention.
Obama will choose who he wants to run with and then the convention will nominate and accept that person.

You should read your own posts.

LOL!!!!!

Sometimes for many ignorance is bliss. Just because a presidential nominee has considerable influence on the decision doesn't mean he has the final word. I am suprised that you argue this point without providing some of your own information.

You sure LOL a lot for someone that doesn't know how things are run in your own party.

Again, show me a credible source that says that the RNC and DNC can replace the VP nominee that the Presidential nominee has selected.

The process I know for both parties is that when someone gets enough delegates to be nominated, there will be discussions about who they have have as VP TO BALANCE OUT THE TICKET. If you have a young JFK from New England, you look for a veteran of congress that knows how to get things done from the South. That is exactly how the VP became Lyndon Johnson. Then when he ran for his first full term, the ticket was balanced by a Northerner, Hubert Humphrey.

I don't see Hillary as a balance to Obama, putting aside the issue of her smear attacks during the campaign. I would see John Edwards as southerner as a balance. If someone was concerned about the Latino vote, Bill Richardson would be a balance. A Chris Dodd or Joe Biden would be a balance, as they are both long time veterans of congress and know how to get things done.

No one said he had the final word. His decision has to be ratified. Duh!
But don't you think accommodations would be made to accept his selection, if at all possible? He's not going to pick someone from "left field". Duh! Duh! Duh!

Although it is true that the DNC can override the nominee's choice, they have never done so. In the case 50+ years ago, they did not override the nominee's choice, because the nominee didn't choose one and they choose for him. But the rules on paper says they can, though they never have, and likely never will.
