David's Predictions
A:
I really would like to see Obama cross the partisan divide on this one and pick a moderate republican. I doubt that he will pick someone like Hegel (due to some conservative views on social issues) or Bloomberg. But I think if he did it would really solidify his image as someone who is different and an agent of change. Having said all that, since I don't think he will do that, my guess is that he will go with Kaine.
