Matt Zeitlin: Impetuous Young Whippersnapper

There’s even more news that Obama is considering picking Sam Nunn as his Veep nominee. And that news is distressing. To put it quickly – Sam Nunn is really old, not very liberal, main opponent of dropping the gay ban and was the main proponent of DADT. I’d love see Nunn in the Obama administration working on issues related to defense and nonproliferation, but it’s just ridiculous to award the number two position in both the country and the Democratic party to someone who’s unacceptable to a major part of the Democratic coalition.

Of course, I’m not the only one who feels this way, and my friend Dylan Matthews has even done some organizing for the anti-Nunn cause. So check out havingnunnofit.com and send a message to Eric Holder and David Plouffe that Nunn is just a bizarre, unacceptable choice for VP.
