Obama's VP Shortlist


Brian Schweitzer
+ As governor of Montana, his approval ratings are among the highest in the nation
Lack of experience and name recognition




Hillary Clinton
+ Could unite Democratic party under "Dream Ticket"
Could polarize the race and alienate centrist Republican voters





Bill Richardson
+ Extensive foreign relations experience
Looked lackluster in primaries





Jim Webb
+ Work with Reagan gives him cross-party cred
Uncompromising to a fault





Joe Biden
+ Popular supporter of environmental efforts
Doesn't bring Obama any votes he wouldn't get anyway
