Like many of you the very first time I heard Barack Obama speak - delivering the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention - I knew, I just knew that this man would be President. Sometimes things just click, and one word, one phrase, one image is all you need to know.

Likewise, in March of this year, I saw the following photo and once again just knew that Senator Obama had found the man who would be his perfect running mate.

Why is the best running back the perfect running mate?

• He has an appeal to working-class voters.
• He will deliver Pennsylvania.
• He will deliver Michigan.
• He can take the hard hits from McCain and Rove. And he’s proven he can hit back.
• He’d scare the crap out of Mitt Romney.

That’s why this blog is dedicated to promoting an Obama/Bettis ticket in 2008.

Okay, so there’s a slight chance with The Bus on the ticket we’d lose Ohio, but do we really want those Browns and Bungles fans at our innauguration anyway?
