Who shouldn't be Vice President?

We've had threads about who we would like to see as vice president. How about some lists as to who you don't want to be Vice President.

John McCain
Rush Limbaugh
Sean Hannity
Bill O'Rielly
Ted Stevens
Arlene Specter
Larry Craig
Mark Foley
Any politician from NJ
Tom DeLay
Arlen Specter
Jack Abramoff
Scooter Libby
Dennis Hastert
Anne Coulter
Michelle Malkin
Dan Quayle
Karl Rove


Barack Obama
Keith Olbermann
Henry Waxman
Barbara Boxer
Nancy Pelosi
Any politician from NJ
including Jim McGreevey
Dianne Feinstein
Robert Byrd
Hillary Clinton
John Edwards
Al Gore
Jesse Jackson
Al Sharpton
John Murtha
Ted Kennedy


This is my list for various reasons which mostly fall into three categories: extremists, corrupt or pork spenders.

This list isn't all inclusive, it's just what I could come up with off the top of my head. I may add more as I think of them. The candidates are planning to release their VP choices in the coming week. What names would make you go:

Mitt Romney for John McCain, I think people fail to realize that he is not popular with Social Conservatives or Evangelicals at all, plus independents despise Romney's flip-flopping too. For Barack Obama, I think Hillary Clinton, Sam Nunn or Bill Richardson would spell doom for Obama too. Clinton would unite the GOP, Nunn would disenfranchise the Gay & Lesbian Democrats and Richardson is one of the worst public speakers in the business, the guy can't hold a lick in debates, Lou Dobbs eat his breakfast and lunch on Lou Dobbs Tonight last month. My top 3 keeps changing all the time for both, right now I'm at this point...

Top 3 (Republican):
1.) Tim Pawlenty - He's been vetted heavily and he's pretty much unknown with no real baggage.
2.) Sarah Palin - I just like her, I think she's a really good politician that doesn't pander to corporate interest.
3.) Charlie Crist - He'd deliver Florida and that's probably the only reason to pick him.

Top 3 (Democratic):
1.) Kathleen Sebelius - I really like this woman, a lot. She's just wholesome, good speaker (Except the State of the Union) and has a close personal friendship with Barack Obama.
2.) Joe Biden - This guy is no joke, he would wipe the floor with anyone on foreign policy but I want to see him in the Administration cabinet as Secretary of State.
3.) Evan Bayh - I just heard about this guy and he's an extremely impressive speaker and he has the resume. Foreign policy credentials, check. Governor credentials, check. Former Clinton supporter, check. He's pretty much perfect if McCain goes with Pawlenty, Obama should go with Bayh. Two unknowns.

In the end, Obama & McCain are going with people they'll be comfortable with. So I'm going with in the end Kathleen Sebelius and Tom Ridge (which will kill McCain's candidacy).
