Obama "Most Confident"

Barack Obama talks VP:

Last night at a fundraiser in San Francisco, Barack Obama took a question on what he's looking for in a running mate. "I would like somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I'm not as expert on," he said, and then he was off and running. "I think a lot of people assume that might be some sort of military thing to make me look more Commander-in-Chief-like. Ironically, this is an area--foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain."

At least he's not arrogant. The chances that he doesn't select a running mate who makes him "look more commander-in-Chief-like"? Probably about the same as Hillary winning the nomination. If I had to bet I'd guess a retired general who "knows about a bunch of stuff" that Barack doesn't--like how to do that "military thing."
