Your thoughts: Sage advisors

Barack Obama's folks are asking Majority Leader Steny Hoyer what he'd like to see in a vice presidential candidate, among other things, but will any other elected officials from Maryland have their say heard by Obama's vetting team? Or John McCain's?
Chris Van Hollen will likely get a word in. Gov. Bob Ehrlich could talk a bit about Rudy Giuliani's performance on the trail or, better yet, Michael Steele's. No doubt Obama's people will want to hear from Barbara Mikulski on winning with women and ethnic whites.
What other Marylanders will have their opinions heard at the highest echelon of vice presidential vetting?

"I don't know that Senator McCain would be a bad president. But if he pursued, as he says he's going to, the same policies that President Bush has pursued, he would have a bad administration, a bad result."
- U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
