VP Profile: Former Nevada Governor Bob Miller

So now, we're all trying to see who would be the best running mate for Obama. I have a name which has been seldom mentioned, but a possible superb match. This man has experience as a governor, which makes him an outsider, something that reinforces Obama, yet has executive experience. He was in the Army and Air Force Reserves for 7 years, which counts as military experience. Most important of all, he comes from a state, Nevada, and a region in which he can help pick up electoral votes. He is Former Governor of Nevada Bob Miller.

He also endorsed Hillary Clinton which can help bring back supporters but not risk having her on the ticket. Altho I supported her for the top, I just don't feel they would be good on a ticket together because of the tension, and I think feelings may be hard between the Clintons and the Obamas. He is older, more experienced, and outsider and not a Senator. I think this dark horse is perfect for the VP spot.
