for watching Fox so we don't have to, and letting us learn in a different thread that a private plane from Chicago may have landed in Delaware.

whole electoral votes... just saying.

He is known in Philly because Delaware contains some of that city's suburbs, and he is from Scranton.

Delaware is a solid Dem state anyway, but even if it weren't, do VPs ever help swing states that the top of the ticket would not have carried anyway?  

It's all coulda, woulda, shoulda I guess now...

my Democratic friend in Scranton just said, "God, I hope it's not Biden."

it's about Iraq, foreign policy, experience and middle class white voters.  Look I like Kaine, but I don't think he does any more for Obama than Warner already does, and there is no other VP candidate who is from a swing state that could deliver it (I like Bayh too but seriously doubt he brings IN).  Also with Biden you get a pit bull that will hound McCain all the way to election day. While he has been in DC for a while he doesn't act like it, he feels fresh, he shoots straight and hits hard. I think he is the best pick that has been mentioned. There is no one else who brings what he does to the table.

For someone who is not considered to be in the running, Hillary Clinton is surely getting a lot of VP buzz. I don't think she's going to get it. Right now, I feel it's Biden.  

that financial disclosure of Clinton foundation stuff was a big hurdle. Outside of whether Obama wanted Hillary in the first place, that sounds about right and I could understand how that would be a dealbreaker for all parties. I believe Clinton successfully avoided Foundation disclosure during the primaries.

as Chris Matthews, not-so-closeted Clinton-phobe, has pointed out Biden has the humble Scranton roots that are oft praised by Clinton-philes as being the key to the types of voters in the types of states that Obama couldn't win in the primaries.

Bayh!!!!!

This is becsauuse of the bumper stickers and tshirts she recieved in Denver to sell.

This is truly inside info, straight from the source.

I'm not going to bed with visions of Obama-Bayh merchandise.  No offense to your sister, but I'm choosing to believe that her merch is part of yet another headfake by Team Obama.  Moreover, one has to assume given the intense amount of media scrutiny that others would have leaked this, too, and we would have heard this elsewhere.

I got this a little while ago...

Perhaps Obama is doing that so he can torture Joe Lieberman for one extra day.

Is an intimate, romantic setting, a grecian pedestal with five or six roses on it for the (losers) runners-up, and the big fat ring in the pocket for the winner!  

If the head-fake is Biden, then I would say that Chet would be the pick.  He would be an incredibly qualified choice, strong on military and veterans issues, and is GWB's Congressman (what irony)!  He's as solid as you can get and he is not strongly identified with the "ESTABLISHMENT".  

Two words:  Drayton MacLane.

That's all I'm gonna say.

for sure until the campaign tells us. Everything else is pure speculation. We know they are faking out everyone anyways.

I'm not going to bed with visions of Obama-Bayh merchandise.  No offense to your sister, but I'm choosing to believe that her merch is part of yet another headfake by Team Obama.  Moreover, one has to assume given the intense amount of media scrutiny that others would have leaked this, too, and we would have heard this elsewhere.

answer....  it would be a huge waste  of  money to print up  all thse bumper st., tshirts, etc.

Even Drudge has an image of the bumper sticker.

It is fun to watch Faux news get faked out tonight!

is reporting that the Secret Service has been dispatched to Biden's home in Delaware.

I should have specified which.  It would be interesting if it were "Chet" Edwards - whoever that is.

OK Obama campaign.  I'm about ready for bed.  Send the email already.  

I'm watching it right now.

BOOOO!!!

Delay brings two potential risks for Obama.

As it now stands, his announcement will land on a weekend and bleed right into the nominating convention - a time when a nominee can already expect to be dominating national attention.

What's more, by keeping expectations hanging for so long, Obama makes it harder to deliver on all the anticipation. A weeks-long strip tease, ending with a naked Joe Biden or Evan Bayh - or some other safe but unsexy choice - might prove deflating.

From here.

Biden is indeed safe but unsexy.

I still wanted a surprise Mark Warner VP, even though I knew it wouldn't happen.

You heard it first here.
