It's weird to me that although McCain needs to bring more to his ticket with his choice to attract voters, Obama seems more likely to lose voters who are currently leaning toward him if he chooses "wrong."
Right now, if someone were to buy in to Obama's move to the center, but then Obama picked a solid and traditional liberal Democrat (which actually makes sense for him to do; someone with a lot of experience), wouldn't than kind of push a centrist back toward McCain?
Or on the other hand, if he picks someone less traditionally liberal, might that not make some hardcore leftist look to vote for a third party candidate?
I guess it's the downside of having a lead before VPs are picked.
