As people check incessantly for their text message from Barack Obama announcing his vice presidential pic, we couldn't help but wonder: with so many incarnations of Neil Patrick Harris, which one of them would fare the best -- or worst -- as a running mate for the Democratic nominee? Here are the pros and cons of each NPH:

"Doogie Howser, M.D." Neil:

Pros: They're both young, well-educated overacheivers with nicknames

Cons: Obama already has the computer diary-keeper (aka blogger) vote; Vinnie probably couldn't get clearance to climb through White House windows

"Cabaret Emcee" Neil:

Pros: "Leave you troubles outside! So, life is disappointing? Forget it! We have no troubles here! Here life is beautiful...the girls are beautiful...even the orchestra is beautiful!"

Cons: "We switch partners daily, to play as we please..."

How I Met Your Mother's "Barney" Neil:

Pros: Wears a mean suit, always quick with a handshake (or high-five), will help coin some undoubtably legen-dary campaign slogans

Cons: Was once suspected of terrorist activities for repeatedly showing up at the airport with empty luggage to pick up girls

"Harold and Kumar" Neil:

Pros: Unlike McCain VP frontrunner Mitt Romney, would be in on the joke

Cons: Would appeal primarily young, college-educated, drug-dabbling post-post-post ironic voters who have had some trouble warming up to this guy Obama

It doesn't look like it will even come to debate---


Edit: I may have jumped to the terribly wrong conclusion. Anyone have any better information?
Alas, He's One Of THEM

I don't think so. Maggie Gyllenhaal is mentioned in that article too, and unless she has done a 180 in ideology, she's no Republican.
