I was just watching CNN and it seems Obama announce he know who his VP will be but he is not saying anything at this time.

Any guesses?

I still think it's going to be John Edwards...even if he cheated on his wife doesn't mean he wouldn't be a good VP. People go through hard times...shit Bill Clinton cheated on his wife the whole time he was president.

I know a lot of people want it to be Hillary. I dunno how I would feel about that. I think she might try to take control of him at times...so I am not so sure if that's a good idea.

And the people who think Tim Kaine...are just morons...if Obama did happen to choose him then he pretty much gave the election to Mccain.

Edwards does have an awesome head o' hair.

You're an odd one.:cursing:

Edwards is done with!!

I dont know but I cant wait for that text message!

You're an odd one.:cursing:

Why would you say such a hurtful thing?!? LOL

I don't know, but I'm going to hear him speak tomorrow at the event in Springfield, IL. I am so excited! (And still pulling for Hillary)

dont think it'll be Clinton nor Edwards... Clinton would be too controlling and there's wayyyyyyyyy too much damage control with Edwards.. yup, Bill Clinton cheated on his wife will in office, but people liked him so he was re-elected. Edwards hasnt had a chance to 'prove' himself.

Well...my yahoo home page says this: "The suspense holding, Barack Obama readied an announcement by text message Friday of his vice presidential running mate from a list suddenly spiced by a dark horse from Texas."

Which, I think is smart if it's a Texan. It's been said around here (Houston) that Obama WILL NOT WIN Texas. But, if he gets a good 'ole boy, then he may win the southern states...

I'm pulling for a woman, but hey...I already lost that one a few months ago....

I dont know but I cant wait for that text message!

I signed up for the text message as well. I'm betting on Hillary Clinton. I think anyone else would just be giving the election to McCain. We'll see or hear soon.

Well, I was wrong. Biden go the job. Any thoughts?

I had read some months ago in one of our Canadian papers that Joe Biden was a possibility. He is an intellectual and although he lacks Obama's charm he is very knowledgeable on foreign policies, something that Obama is inexperienced in, was given as the reason for his attractiveness as VP.

Admittedly, as somewhat of a conservative, I may be missing some crucial nuance, but I think Obama just made a bonehead mistake. Biden may be even MORE liberal than Obama....I think he needed somebody to play off his weaknesses, not reinforce what strengths / weaknesses he already has. I think the majority of the American people have negative connotations associated with those politicians labeled "liberals", and if Obama REALLY wanted to sweep the election, he'd have chosen Hilly.

I look for McCain to pick a fairly conservative VP for the above reasons. Of course, I was totally wrong about the Obama veep pick, so....

Well, I was wrong. Biden go the job. Any thoughts?

My thoughts are that I should have posted my predictions before the pick so I'd look psychic.

For the record, my prediction was that he'd pick an older white dude who was perceived to be more conservative than him.
