He is considering President Bush's first-term Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman. What do you think? I can't see why he is considering a Republican, but I don't know anything about her, so I can't say whether she is a good choice ot not. I hope he chooses a vice president soon.

Ann Margaret Veneman (born June 29, 1949) is currently the Executive Director of UNICEF.
She was the first woman and first Californian to become the United States Secretary of Agriculture. She announced her resignation as Secretary on November 15, 2004, which took effect on January 20, 2005.
On January 18, 2005, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan announced Secretary Veneman's appointment as the fifth Executive Director of UNICEF. The appointment was made effective with the end of the term of former UNICEF Executive Director Carol Bellamy on May 1, 2005.
I don't know where you saw or heard this story, but I doubt this is the type of person who Barack Obama would choose as his running mate.

I don't know anything about her, but I suspect it's just a rumor at this time. I hope he holds off picking anyone. The suspense is good for the campaign. I'd like him to wait until after McBush picks his running mate. That way we'll have a better idea what is needed to win.
