As the Obama VP pick nears, let me just say...Follow

Yeah, too bad Bayh doesn't have Biden's Foreign Relations cred.

I'm thinking it'll be Bayh. Be Bayh, be Bayh.

'K, I've lost it.

Yeah, Warner scares me in an almost Cheneyesque way.

Hell yeah. Your team gets one, our team gets one.

biden would bring some national secrity creds to his camp. thats his biggest over all weakness.

kaine might bring virginia but its too small of a prize to throw the vp slot at. especially when you consider richardson not only brings a swing state with him just like kaine, but he also brings a hispanic following boost that could not only bag him a swing state, but might even tip the scales in south florida and thats a HUGE prize.

so if its a matter of a swing state, it will be richardson over kaine. personally, biden might go alot further with the independants than any one swing state govoner.

richardson or biden. ill lean toward richardson. florida is just too big a prize to not invest huge in. richardson gives him big hispanic creds, something i think will go farther than bidens national security creds.

More electoral votes for VA, though. I guess it depends on whether the Latino vote is really in play. If they come out to vote it won't be for McCain.

Seriously, who ever votes for a candidate on the basis of who he picked as his running mate? The whole VP sweepstakes is a time filler to get us through August. Truthfully, even announcing the bottom half of the ticket is terrible, terrible theater, leaving us with no reason to watch the convention other than to be a cheerleader. Any candidate who prematurely selects and tells us who his veep is before the conventions should be publically flogged.

You know McCain's plan is to announce the day after the Dem convention in hopes of stealing some of Obama's thunder, right?

Because Romney will just inspire the hell out of people. They'll forget Obama even exists and start chanting "Milquetoast! Milquetoast!"

Sorry to be living under a rock, but why is Biden a bad choice for a VP? Is it because he doesn't shore up some shaky states, or that he has some skeletons, or what? From what I've heard elsewhere (which admittedly isn't much), he seems a decent choice based on the fact that he's served in the military and has a ton of foreign service experience. Just wondering what I've missed.

Well, there is the slight problem of him being completely unable to keep his mouth shut about anything, ever. It'd be about three weeks before he uttered something along the lines of "You know, I always wanted to **** a little boy. Not that I ever WOULD, of course..."

Not to mention Biden's gaffe of, "Tell you some of Barack Obama's good points? Well, the boy is clean-- seems to shower after pickin' the cotton all day, he's articulate-- says 'ask,' not 'axe,' and he defers to me as the elder statesman like a good darkie should to his betters. Oh wait-- this is off the record, right?"

InTrade has Biden leading with $35 compared to Bayh's $20 and Kaine's $16. So someone must think he's likely.


Edwards is selling for fifty cents!
