yes, i think biden will be great in this role....but he does have a bit of history of saying more than would be prudent.

rove's minions will surely be waiting to turn any gaffe into a multi day 'scandal'.

1. Romney
2. Lieberman

Hey, if he's crossing the aisle maybe he'll pick Hilldenbrand and send her hubby as ambas to Kabul.

You gotta have text messaging. He's sending the message out to all his $5 contributors first -- like his buds on the NYT, MSNBC and the Huffington Post.

Let us know as soon as you get your SMS will ya Jet?

wasn't jet claiming a few months ago that she was getting unsolicted emails from the obama campaign.

^ I still get them (joy). That's how I know. Unfortunately for you all, I didn't contribute $5 so I won't be getting the text message.

Really no text message! Of course I should have remembered, the $1,000 plus club gets a direct phone call.

^ Guess it would help if I had a cell phone.

Tomorrow night we'll probably know. The job of VP is really a joke. You do nothing. But it's good for the speculation and the circus.

I'll go with Obama/clinton and McCain/anybody not nearly dead- well Ok Romney.

Think when push comes to shove Obama is showing that he will do what it takes, and as far as I can see Clinton still adds votes to his ticket (and not picking her will alientate totally a proportion of the democrat support base).

^ Butt out! I called that one already. Where's rc when you need him. 5555555555

Where do you guys live anyway. Must be the twilight time zone! Be more like 24 hours if like me you're in Thailand.

Now the media is playing up Chet Edwards, the congressman from Texas. Speculation really. By tonight (Thailand time) we'll know.

good news for the obama campaign, and more importantly, good news for the future of america.

McCain's staff are predicting a 15 point bump for Obama coming out of the Democratic convention.

Awful pick - Repubs are going to slaughter Obama now.
