I don't think that someone like Jim Barone can help him much.

Former presidents have chosen their vice presidents for reasons that are unknown, like president Bush senior who selected Dan Quayle, maybe to avoid the situation of offending two or three other greater choices in that moment. Dan Quayle appeared to be the impartial choice.

The current president Bush needed Cheney -a man with greater experience- for guidance.

I think that Obama needs a vice president as a complement for his ideas, the same as well Al Gore was with Bill Clinton..

It is opt to Obama to select whom he might choose, but my opinion still is that he must select a young senator capable to assimilate the energy of Obama in order to to reform the current and tedious rithm of politics in US.
But why a senator? It'd seem to me that a governor would help the ticket balance wise more. And there are some governors out there, like Brian Schweitzer and Kathleen Sebelius, that would compliment Obama AND balance out the ticket
