And, if there's any argument to be made for choosing someone other than a Senator this cycle to accompany Obama on the ticket, that makes the selection of Graham all the more viable, IMHO.

As a former Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he fills the foreign affairs and military requirements that many are clamoring for within the party, too.

He's still very highly regarded (I've heard the word, "beloved," used recently to describe the public's sentiment about Graham in the Sunshine State) within what certainly is one of the biggest--if not the biggest--of swing states this year, as well.

So, I'm thinking, if Biden's not the "real" choice, he could very well be a trial balloon for someone just like Graham.

Just read this one paragraph from Graham's Wiki Bio to get a sense of how well he meshes with Obama, philosophically:

As Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Graham opposed the War in Iraq for fear it would divert U.S. attention from the fight in Afghanistan. After carefully reviewing information and meeting with military leaders in February 2002, he decided the war would be a "distraction" that would end poorly. He continues to oppose the Iraq War today.

In any event, I'll be glad when all this V.P. speculation is over...but, it ain't over 'til it's over!
