Washington : As US Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama remains silent about his ballot partner, local media speculates about several politicians for that position.
According to The New York Times and the website Politico.com, Virginia Governor Tim Kaine seems to be the favorite candidate for the vice presidency of the United States.
Both the newspaper and the website agree that Kaine, who worked as a missionary in Central America, might help Obama win the Latin and Catholic votes, although they admit he lacks experience on national security issues.
According to CNN, one of Kaine’s advantages is that he has never worked in Washington. That is a pro, because one of Obama’s elections promises is to change the policy-making style in the federal capital.
In addition, it would allow Obama to attract moderate conservative voters in a key state in the elections, CNN added.
Other possible candidates are Senators Evan Bayh, Joseph Biden, Chris Dodd and Hillary Clinton, and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius.
The New York Times pointed out that the name of the former First Lady has lost ground over the past few weeks among Obama’s aides.
