I Agree with Ian . . .

. . . regarding Schweitzer.  I have been mentioning his name for months and months, in the hope that the Obama campaign keeps an eye on the blogosphere.  Schweitzer is as gifted an orator as Obama, but his style is quite different-- Obama's tone is lofty, where Schweitzer's is direct.  Brian Schweitzer is the only politician I have heard who has spoken of the war, energy independence, and environmental conservation as one issue.  He has some great ideas, and he needs to be President someday.  And, as far as I can tell, the best way for that to happen is for him to be the sitting veep-- the heir apparent-- in 2016, as he is term-limited out of running for re-election to the governorship in 2012.

So, yes, I still have a tiny hope that Schweitzer is the dark horse pick, off everyone's radar.  In the meantime, of the three commonly-mentioned picks, Biden is the best.
