[...] speculated this morning that “maximum publicity” probably means Thursday so that he can carry the buzz over to Friday and then ride it through the weekend. I agree. Okay, [...]

My goodness, I haven't seen this much anticipation since the impending birth of Little Ricky (Ricardo, as in 'I Love Lucy' for you youngsters)

I am conflicted about who to hope for as Obama’s VP nominee.

If it’s Hillary, the media will crown them the “dream team” and pull out all the stops. It will be nauseating beyond belief.

On the other hand, if it’s Kerry, I will owe Satan my soul.

Bummer.

The Dark Lord of All Cosmos really needs to shore up His foreign policy credentials. My guess is that He will choose His most prominent advisor in this area – Winnie the Pooh.

The only choices he could make that would worry me, as a Republican, would be Bayh or Hillary.

If the announcement is this week, it will be obvious that the floor vote for the nomination is fixed. Not very democratic.

The only thing Kaine’s done while in office is to blame Republicans for not allowing him to raise taxes.

So Kaine will be a Westhighland Terrier to Obama’s Scottie.

Two runty, noisy dog candidates. Both completely useless.

Supposedly, Warner was a good governor, but I lived here in Virginia during his term and I can’t think of one single thing the guy did here.

The bloom is off the rose me thinks. Maybe it’s the camera angle or the light, but O is looking strained, harried and under pressure.

My guess is he’ll pick someone who shares his ideology to a tee……Louis Farrakhan!

The obvious choice is the Michelin Man.

Who knows more about proper tire inflation?

I may actually watch the convention to see that surreal speech…

It won’t matter who the Messiah chooses. Come November’s general election, Oblahblah will still be a 300+ million dollar DemOrat failure.

running-mate announcement

That would change the subject from BO’s disastrous performance Saturday.
Maybe his veep will be above BO’s pay grade.

“Kaine spent 20 minutes huddled in a backroom, where he said he was ‘filming a little thing’ for the Obama campaign,”

I wondered what Rielle Hunter was up to these days.

Besides Kaine is creepy looking and you can’t have a creepy looking veep.

That's a joke, right?

Maybe team Obama is way deep into its practice squad because the starters don’t want to play.

COnsidering the beating Obama is taking in the polls and even the press, I suspect the announcement will be soon to shift focus off his troubles.

Team Obama circulating letters to Dem governors:

“Will you please be my vice-president?”

[ ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] I’d like to, but I’m terrified of your bus.

Dick Morris, who before Karl Rove came along was considered to be pretty sharp, says that if Obama (or more accurately, Obama’s speech writers) can prevent McCain from getting the same Hispanic support that Bush got, then Obama wins. That’s where Richardson or the Spanish-speaking Kaine come in. To help make that happen.

It’s Kaine…

You don’t need a secret decoder ring to read this one, kids: When they send a camera crew to get footage for the candidate’s convention biopic, it’s a done deal. Virginia is the new Ohio.

He’ll probably do what a “typical white person” would do. Pick a white veep. Being a halfrican american, he’ll catch no flack.

John Kerry is my guess. If Teraza approves, of course.
