It is now rumored that Barack Obama will announce his VP pick this week, maybe even as early as today. He's going to send me a text message so that I am "the first to know." Um. I mean, me and about a million other people, including the news media. But I still feel special. According to Politico, John McCain is going to announce his pick after the Dem. Convention, possibly at a birthday rally he's holding in Dayton, Ohio on August 29th.
And the New York Times has told us that Barack's list has been narrowed to three: Evan Bayh, Tim Kaine, and Joe Biden. Bloggers on the left were hoping for someone more like Al Gore or Wesley Clarke - Clarke was probably never in the running, but took himself out involuntarily with some controversial words about what McCain does and does not know about foreign policy. As for Al Gore . . . been there, done that. And don't forget about Hillary Clinton. No one believes that she will be named VP, but no one can keep her out of the discussion either.
