Did Obama say his short list=Kaine, Biden, Bayh? It is the MSM's Fabrication
and the Obama Campaign is playing them for fools. Obama never said that his short list was: Kaine, Bayh, or Biden. It was the heavy-breathing "pundits" who came to that conclusion and everybody is repeating it tirelessly. Obama will probably pick someone else...so...if the MSM has a short list, I have mine, too: Sebelius, Clinton, Schweitzer, Clark, Warner and Webb. How's that?

5. the only thing
I heard Barack say about his VP selection...
is that there would be NO discussion about it
until he made his announcement.

So, since I beleive he is a man of his word
any speculation is exactly that. Speculation.

7. Isn't Warner actually running for a Senate seat this year?
I think he would be an inspired choice, but...
unavailable.

9. Did you see Bill on the Sunday a.m. shows?
He was _not_ getting it done in either of the shows I saw.

11. That's how I feel too. All these "undisclosed sources" don't make me feel very confident
that the MSM actually knows what's going on. Which is probably part of the reason why I hope Obama will choose Clark-- because Clark's a good VP candidate and it'll definitely underline the fact that the MSM is just full of incompetent gossips.

12. Except in Clark's case it's the "disclosed" sources that took him out of the running.
Most notably the General himself, who said he would be overseas on business during the convention week.

I suppose you could have a VP give an acceptance speech via satellite, like you have various rock bands doing during awards shows, if an actual appearance conflicts with their tour schedule. But that would be cheesy as Hell, wouldn't it?

Now that doesn't mean the media hype of "Your services are no longer required" has anything to do with reality. Just that he won't be VP.
