The "libertarian Democrat" (and personal longtime mentor) Terry Michael predicts the two vice presidential running mates: Claire McCaskill for Obama and Mitt Romney for John McCain. Last year, Michael predicted that Obama and Romney would be the two major party nominees. I haven't heard McCaskill's name mentioned much as a VP contender (she denies interest), but she fits several needs:
1. Women voters
2. Swing State
3. Comfortable, and experienced, being Obama's "attack dog"
Meanwhile, the chatter about Romney seems to be exciting Republicans in his home state, but little elsewhere.
