With the Democratic nomination now in its endgame, it’s time to speculate on that question that makes politicos weak at the knees: who will be tapped to be vice president? Unlike the top job, there is no election here, it’s the first big choice that we get to see the candidate make about his cabinet.

We’ve identified 10 possible VP choices for Obama, as well as the general criteria that might guide his decision. Think we’re missing someone? Let us know in the comments section. And be sure to register your favorite on HuffPost Vice President poll.

Comment: Good article except the author lists Sherrod Brown as the Governor of Ohio, when in reality he’s a junior Senator. I don’t know if that was a typo or poor research, but the article is still interesting nonetheless.
