Checking Out the Veeps on TheMiddleClass.org

tmc_promo.gif An article by Bob Moser in the June 16 issue of The Nation discussed Jim Webb, who Moser believes is Obama's best choice for a running mate. Moser writes,

"While his [Webb's] voting record is short, it's thus far prochoice, prolabor and pro-environment. For what it's worth, Webb got an A in 2007 from the progressive Drum Major Institute..."

Inspired by The Nation, I decided to look up the grades on the TheMiddleClass.org of some the other names that have been batted around as possible running mates. Here's what I came up with:

On the Dem's side...

Hillary Clinton: A+
Evan Bayh: B
John Edwards (2003): Incomplete

On the GOP side...

Bobby Jindal: Incomplete
Richard Burr: F
Jim DeMint: F
Lindsey Graham: F
John Thune: F

Have some other veep favorites? If they are (or were) senators or representatives, check out their grades on TheMiddleClass.org.
