Obama should pick Jennifer Granholm to be VP. She is the governor of Michigan, which means she has executive experience, comes from a blue collar state, and is a female, which are the areas in which he's hurting badly. I wouldn't mind Hillary on the ticket, but realistically, if YOU were running for president, would YOU want your VP's spouse to be a former president?
McCain needs to pick J.C. Watts, former Representative from Oklahoma. He has an extensive conservative background and has done extensive religious work, both weaknesses McCain has with Republicans, and is black, which is the biggest weakness (disadvantage) McCain has in the general election. It effectively takes the race discussion off the table.
EDIT: Just noticed this is my 2500th post. I wonder if I get a used toaster or something?
