Jennifer Granholm for Vice President
In less than one hour from now, Hillary Clinton will give a speech to concede the Democratic presidential nomination to Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton herself indicates that she is not seeking the position of Vice President in the Obama White House. Besides, it would be too tricky for Barack Obama to manage both Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton maneuvering within his own administration
So who will the vice presidential nominee under Barack Obama be? Let’s consider someone who is like Hillary Clinton, but without all the baggage.
Consider Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm. Governor Granholm has obvious demographic similarities to Hillary Clinton, without all the baggage that Hillary Clinton would bring.
Besides that, Granholm has executive experience of the sort that Barack Obama needs to balance his ticket. Finally, consider the rancor with which the Michigan delegate problems were resolved. Adding Jennifer Granholm to the Obama for President campaign would go a long way toward Democratic Party healing.
If you agree, show your support for Granholm. Put this Obama-Granholm 2008 bumper sticker on your car, and promote a better choice for Obama’s VP everywhere that you drive.

You all do realize that Granholm was born in Canada, don’t you? Like Arnold, this disqualifies her from the presidency, and by proxy the vice presidency.

Despite being about as American as it gets, Granholm was born in Canada and therefore is not eligible to hold the office. I would definitely have supported her. She is the woman who really could have been America’s first woman president.
