while this is not who i think is the best running mate, my belief is that obama got so much money to do what he did in the media from the kennedy's that something is in it for them. therefore i believe that because teddy the rednose kennedy could not "run for the position" of president, perhaps there is a loophole in there that he can be chosen as vice president. it doesn't matter anyway because McCain will walk all over him and win.in case you don't know why teddy can't run, it is because of the chappaquidick incident when he drove off the bridge drunk and a woman died because of it. this may not answer your question but it is my opinion.
