David the Harpist (not verified) says:
Obama:
Hagel, though retiring, is still a Republican and would look better with McCain than with the Democrats. A terrific man but belongs with McCain. I agree Mark Warner would be a great choice for Obama - exudes gubernatorial experience and competence - would even make the ticket MORE exciting because Mark Warner has his own JFK ambience. I agree Jim Webb would be a real good pick for Obama - giving that national security look that may, unfortuantely be needed until Iraq can ever settle down.
McCain: David Petraeus would seem an exciting choice indeed. Also reassuring would be Colin Powell - There needs to be a restoration of Realism. A mischievous pick is Condi Rice, who digs into Obama/Clintons' uniqueness. McCain could also look exciting with Chuck Hagel behind him. Its a way of saying - Restoration; the Neocons failed and now for something completely different - would tick off his base, but he could excite the public, that's for sure, and it would probably help the country. Petraeus would do this too without ticking off the base. But Romney is not a good choice - incompatible with McCain - has a dubious activities past with Bain Capital, is pro-torture like Cheney. The last thing needed is another Neocon Cheney!
