Wouldn't it be great if Obama reached across party lines and obtained either of these qualified Republicans to be his VP choice: 1) Colin Powell, a decorated and respected military leader who saw through the BS of Bush, Cheney & Rumsfeld and finally said "enough is enough." I wish he would have done it before being the sacrificial lamb when presenting the case against Iraq at the UN. 2) Chuck Hagel, another conservative who had the guts to speak out against the war and who would bring great experience to the Obama ticket.

I doubt either scenario will happen, but it's nice to dream once in awhile...
