I doubt I'll be all that impressed by whatever pick he makes for his VP choice. But, as a party, we look like political geniuses compared to the Dims. These people must be dumber than a box of rocks. In fact, they just can't be this stupid, can they? Will they go through with this? Will the convention actually formalize Obama's nomination? I'm really having my doubts, here. Somewhere, there have to be some Dim Kingmaker-types who are waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.
