What Would You Do if Tapped as a Running Mate?
The Democratic National Convention starts Monday in Denver, and Republicans enter the spotlight after Labor Day when they convene in Minneapolis-St. Paul. But at the time of this post, both of the running mate slots are up for grabs. Many lawyers are in contention, and neither nomination is a foregone conclusion.
But we want to know what you would do if you got the nod. Would you want to run with Barack Obama or John McCain? And, if your ticket were elected, what would you fight for as veep as far as the concerns of the legal profession are concerned? Who would you push for to put on the U.S. Supreme Court, in the event of a vacancy? Who would be a good attorney general? What about rule-of-law initiatives, wiretapping, and Guantanamo Bay? But don’t let us limit you.

Our favorite answer from last week:
Posted by Multi-jurisdictional Esq: Pump my fists, yes, but not until we—or the judge (and jury, if there is one) are out of the courtroom. Back at the office it’s loud music, Happy Hour and a conga line, too. “We Are the Champions” is among the favorites.
