Answer (maybe): O B A M A. After the new flap over Vice Presidential vetter James Johnson, this campaign year is beginning to remind me of 1972 in more ways than one*. At least Obama can't pick Tom Eagleton (McGovern's first choice) to run with him, unless he wants to run with a ghost, as Eagleton died last year.

*The other similarity, so far, being the possibility (now remote) that Democratic party leaders might try to deny Obama the nomination.
