Ralph NaderRalph Nader, accused by Democrats of lossing them the 2004 Presidential Election because of the votes he siphoned off, has said that Obama is not "dumb" enough to pick Senators Joe BidenJoe Biden, Evan BayhEvan Bayh or Virginia Governor Tim KaineTim Kaine as his running mate. The smart pick, Nader believes, is Hillary Rodham ClintonHillary Rodham Clinton because around a quarter of her supporters have still not switched their support to Obama. Only Hillary could give Obama a realistic chance against John McCainJohn McCain, the consumer activist turned aspiring President believes, particularly in the aftermath of a less-than-prime time performance by Obama in the Saddleback Evangelist matchup against John McCain.

Some analysts believe that Obama should move more toward the center by picking Senator Sam Nunn, with his solid national security credentials. "If it's a tradional white male politician" that Obama is looking for then Nader would agree with that choice as well.

Ralph does admit that in a few days, when Obama does make his choice, Raalph might well have "egg on his face." But derision or disagreement has hardly deterred the feisty Quixotic crusader in the past!
