Make it (99.9%) Official

There's a damn good chance Senator Joseph Biden will be the Vice President of the United States in January, 2009. 

Hallelujah.

Biden may have been one of a few great candidates on Obama's "shortlist," but there are precious few statesmen like Biden left in politics, and Obama is lucky to have him on the ticket.

...though we agree with the comment left by "Eli" (likely an Evan Bayh supporter) on NBC New's online forum:

Suffice to say Obama will not win Indiana now no matter how many offices he opens there.

If...Then

If Andrea Mitchell is correct that Evan Bayh and Tim Kaine are out of contention for the VP spot, I have only one thing to say:

I'VE LOVED JOE BIDEN FOR A LONG TIME (click HERE)

...which is not to say that I won the VP prediction contest by any means. Rather, that it pays off to see all the presidential candidates during the primary season and see who impresses you the most; if they're a downright impressive candidate and they don't end up winning the nomination, put them on VP watch...

Two Names for McCain

It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day excitement of the non-story that is the Vice Presidential search. 

...but if you can't help but speculate (or pretend to know what you're talking about...just as I am here), you'd be wise to check out Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Decide for yourself whether or not she sounds like a great choice for McCain, and if you're looking for a second good match look no further than Charlie Crist. 

Happy musing!
