these are terrible picks for Obama and a poor analysis of his potential VPs.

Hagel? Obama will alienate a huge swath of Democrats with that pick. Hagel may have grown a spine when it comes to foreign policy (read: Iraq War), but he a conservative through and through.

Calling Claire McCaskill (and to an extent Jim Webb) second year senators is really stretching it. It's only February. Also, both Senators won by slim margins (Webb's margin was razor thin).

Biden makes sense but picking another Senator will be a huge mistake. You need a governor to balance the ticket. Obama's weakness is his inexperience. You need a popular governor.
