Looking ahead: Tickets, please

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Larry King last night that she was not in favor of a Democratic ticket pairing Obama and Clinton:

"I think first of all the candidate, whoever he or she may be, should choose his or her own vice presidential candidate," said Pelosi, who will chair the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August. "I think that's appropriate. That's where you would see the comfort level on not only how to run, but how to govern the country.

"And there's plenty of talent to go around to draw upon for a good, strong ticket.

In that vein, Al Giordano's got his Democratic VP predictions up over at The Field:

1. Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius
2. Virginia Governor Tim Kaine
3. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson
4. Delaware Senator Joe Biden
5. Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer
6. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry

While the last name made me laugh out loud, Giordano offers up the pros and cons of each, and I did find contemplating his picks a nice little afternoon distraction. It kept me focused on the primary but in a pleasant, there will be a next step soon, kind of way.
