On the Veepwatch front, nothing's on Obama's schedule yet, but the traveling press registration e-mail has us flying to South Bend at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and not leaving until 3:25 p.m. the next day.

It seems seems like an awfully long time to be in one place. (Where exactly is Evan Bayh?)

Bayh's home town is near Terre Haute, Ind. -- about four-hour drive from South Bend. But South Bend is a nice geographical point between Illinois and Ohio, and just south of the Michigan line

Obama communications stretegist Robert Gibbs says all that shoudl be taken from it is that "Indiana is competitive and winnable for us," he said.

1. Is Wes Clark going to be there ?

Because if he's not, the stop won't have anything to do w/ VP selection. :evilgrin:

2. Silly

"An awful long time to be in one place." Hehe. Was this written by some total neophyte? Weird.

Bayh's a lousy, boring choice, and it costs us a Senate seat. It won't be him.
