It would appear Obama will be announcing a VP choice soon.

OMG. Could you imagine Barack Obama and Vice President Alton Brown? They'd be LEGENDS.

Tony Blair?
 "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |

I see Paris Hilton has been moving up the ranks.
I don't think they see eye to eye on energy policy. That could be a problem. On the plus side they are both hot. ------------------------------ my cup runs over but I am so blind I just complain as it spills around me |

It sounds like Kaine from Virgina and Bayh from Indiana are the front runners. I don't know them very well, but it feels like they are being looked at for election purposes, not administration. Obama wants the electoral votes from Virginia or Indiana. I want someone he can turn to on military or foreign policy issues.
I'd hoped Bill Richardson got a closer look. I'm Matt Cable and I approve this message. ________________________________________________ I'm alright. Don't nobody worry bout me. |

I met Bayh back in 2006 when he was visiting New Hampshire exploring a run for Pres. I'd be happy with him. I don't know anything about Kaine. I've heard rumors that Richardson has some "issues" that could be exploited (as in: imagine Edwards' recent scandal once every other week until the general election). He's running for Secretary of State, anyway. |

I'm on the Obama mailing list, and got David Plouffe-mail in my inbox last night:
Now...anyone else think this orchestration of campaign hype is looking a bit too...oh, I don't know....orchestrated? This just left me with a bad taste in my mouth. It's like those stupid commercial during shows that are targeted for teens urging them to text "LUV" to 757393 (SKREWD) to find out who their astrological love match is. Obama's campaign people are manipulating the media like skilled puppeteers, but at the same time, making the supporters feel a bit...played as well.  **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud. She’s marshalled all the haggle-dans. Missy-twigs and vale-nymphs from Claypole Woods. Apparently she intends to tear this house down and dance on the ruins.†“Well, Chives, you’d better start the car, what? And pack my tennis things too†--- Joe 3Heads |

I heard someone say - and I can't remember where, it was probably Radio 4 - that he should pick Bill Clinton...

You sure they didn't say Hillary? Cause there are some Hillary supporters that threatened to vote Republican if she doesn't get the VP spot... I originally wanted Edwards... and then he went and got himself screwed. Literally. I have to say, it was pretty stupid of him to even run for the Democratic nomination. Imagine if he had stayed in the race, maybe even gotten the nomination. Lesson one, politicians: it will come out. It always comes out. ****************************************************************** Superbly Sublime Splendiferous Sterling Shiftmaster of the Realm of Unproductivity and Procrastination ****************************************************************** You are a Player.

nope, definately Bill. And Hillary to co-ordinate health reform, so she'd be happy becasue her name would be on that Bill. Do people's names go on Bills? I don't think it was os much that they thought it would happen, but that they thought it would be a good idea. ____________________________________________________ tiny ball of rage. hilarious, condensed rage - Snazz I never really lost my virginity... it just sort of eventually wore off - Chris Addison Um...

Wow. **Pats Alaura on the back** Not that the McCain people are doing any better, in all fairness. ---------------------------- "How do you get from here to the rest of the world?" |

Well, to be fair, it's pretty much the job description of campaign directors to manipulate and create hype for a candidate. It's just that recently (post massive crowds in Germany and the DNC being sold out), Obama's campaign persona has transformed from "one of us" to "rock starrrrr!". And with rock star status comes merchandising.
And then it's not too far around the corner that you become like Lenny Kravitz, who isn't a musician anymore but a professional jingle-singer acting like a rock star. But that's another rant. **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud. She’s marshalled all the haggle-dans.

I think the rock star thing might come back to bite him in the ass. Marketers shouuld never be allowed to go unchecked.
That said, I never really believed he had a snowball's chance in hell, but we'll see. ~ Gal-El You don't have to be a basketball player, you can be the president of the United States. ~ LeBron James. |

I understand what you are saying Alura but this is the job interview with the public and popularity rules.
It will die down. I will be happy after the conventions when we have some one on one debates and such. In the end the election is just a popularity contest. I don't think McCain's ads trying to play up Obama's popularity as a "bad" thing are working. I could be wrong. ------------------------------ my cup runs over but I am so blind I just complain as it spills around me |
