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.

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! Last edited by Oregon Elephant : 06-04-2008 at 12:22 PM. Reason: cleaning up quotes to avoid confusion |

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.
