Opinion: Jack Reed as Obama surrogate (and veep contender?)

Yesterday, we noted the suggestion, by the Baltimore Sun’s Paul West, that Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island would be a strong vice presidential pick for Sen. Barack Obama.

Today, perhaps coincidentally (and perhaps not), Reed -- whose national profile until now has been equal to the position of his home state as the smallest in the U.S. -- appeared on ABC’s ‘This Week’ as a surrogate for the Democrats’ presumptive nominee.

Take a look at the video, then tell us: How’d he do?
