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.
Some more of his resume:

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.
