There goes my first choice for VP

"Under no circumstances will I be a candidate for vice president."
In a statement, [Virginia Democratic Senator] Jim Webb said he wanted to use his "efforts and talents" in the Senate to work for such issues as the expansion of education benefits for veterans recently enacted by Congress with his prodding. But he also promised to "proudly campaign" for the Illinois senator.
Jim Webb, a politician, and one who is also a veteran, a veteran who fights 'for' veterans instead of against them, has turned down the job of Vice President.

That sucks ... but it's probably a smart move on Webb's part. He's doing a helluva job in the Senate and Virginia will be twice as blue and blue enough for Barack Obama when Mark Warner takes John Warner's seat in November.

So who would be my second choice?
