Who will/should Obama pick as running mate?

[QUOTE=Oy!]
Will someone post it in a new thread as soon as it comes through? I don’t have free text messaging, and I didn’t see how to sign up for email without also getting text messaging.

ETA: Not that I’m psyched, or anything.

Nope. Couldn’t tell.

[QUOTE=Marley23]
If people want to continue on this hoary topic, I’d suggest starting another thread.

See, Obama, this is a hint that people are antsy enough and you should just announce your pick already. Say, 1 pm tomorrow?

Anxiously eyeing the clock on the West Coast…

Say, Marley – which time zone are we talking about here?

I was thinking Eastern, but I believe Obama is going to be in New Mexico today. If that matters.

Richardson?

I’d think Central (Chicago’s time zone).

And why do we think it’s going to be 1pm today?

Just a guess on my part that everybody is humoring. It’s the kind of thing that I think would be announced mid-day for maximum press coverage.

Ah, fair enough. Although, I’ll be eyeballing my cell phone in about 6 minutes.

You know, we haven’t seen you much around the office…

ahem

You think you can just drop off butt tape and leave like that?

Final predictions?

1)Richardson (Most likely pick. Talk of him has quieted alot recently; calm before storm?)

2)Sebelius (Still holding hope for my top pick)

3)Reed (Safest, but only if Chafee(I) or a Dem fills his Senate seat; RI has a Repub Gov. though)

4)Chafee (The Dems’ Lieberman- former ® now (I). Despite that ®, he may be even more left than Obama)

5)Clark (I hope not. I’d be disapointed, but not necessarily suprised)

Missed the window…

5)Clark (I hope not. I’d be disapointed, but not necessarily suprised. **ETA:***Curiously not scheduled on “Security Wed.”, but he might have been dropped for good after McCain’s military record snark.)


Bayh-Biden: Been getting too much air time the past few days, I think it’s a bluff. That and the media probably just likes saying their names together.*

My final predictions:

  1. Kaine
  2. Sebelius
  3. Biden
  4. Jones
    And LOUNE, don’t tell me youse guys have worked your way through that TP already?!? What, are you wiping your asses with it or something? I’ll be by again soon. You guys need anything specific? Food? TP? Water?

Food is good. So are paper towels.

That and knocking on some doors and making some phone calls. We’ve got work to do, son!

C’mon! Everyone else put your final predictions in. The announcement will be some time within the next week.

I’d bet my life savings on Michelle.*

I’m going with Kaine or Sebelius. Kaine is better though. Clark is my third choice.

*It’s a little more than $20.

Just fill in the name and email part and then click okay. It worked for me when I signed up with both of my email accounts.

It’s Richardson on Friday at 11AM Eastern.

It could still be today. It’s not 1pm in Hawaii yet!

I’m thinking

1 Biden
2 Bayh
3 Nunn

But I reserve the right to change my mind daily. This has been much harder to read than the Republican side.
