Chet Edwards name is only being floated as some kind of thing to please Pelosi. I have no idea why she wants that for. There is no way Chet Edwards is going to be VP. As someone else said, the byline for that story is Liz “Sprinkles” Sidoti. That tells you all you need to know. The only thing she knows is every pimple on McCain’s ass.

“Not Kaine and not Bayh…and not Hillary either…we know that much.”

How exactly do “we know that much”?

SaveFarris: Being secretive is a good thing now? When did this happen?

Excuse me. Are you really arguing that the administration intentionally leaking classified information (i.e., secrets related to national security) for political points is the same as not leaking the the name of his VP pick?

Please explain to me how you reconcile thes opposites as being the same:

administration in office VS candidate
intentionally leaking VS not leaking
national security secrets VS name of running mate
Save Farris VS thinking person

Looking forward to your answer.

Thanks.

In Oregon (a relatively conservative part), I’ve counted two McCain stickers and hordes of Obama or Clinton stickers and signs.

Look at the byline — Liz “your favorite treat” Sidoti.

Some Obama bumper stickers around here, while I’ve only seen one McCain bumper sticker. OTOH, while the Obama lawn sign have been prevalent for awhile, the McCain ones are starting to slowly pop up and I expect them to start multiplying in the weeks to come.

Obama/Gore and McCain/Giuliani. Those are my picks, and I’m sticking with them.

Chet Edwards? I think Obama would lose a ton of credibility if he chose someone like that. Even I would start to doubt.

wouldn’t it be something if OBAMA chooses a VP that the speculators did not predict.

Speaking of bumper stickers, has anyone seen a McCain bumper sticker? I live in Redstate NC, and I see dozens of Obama stickers every day. To date, I’ve seen ONE McCain sticker. I saw ONE more when we took a family trip down I-95 to FL last month.
Unscientific as it may be, it gives me hope. If you ride around with a bumper sticker on your car, you’ll probably go vote for the guy. I don’t think McCain voters are very excited, except perhaps in a negative way, voting against Obama, not for John McCain.

Based on some strange weddings I’ve known of, Chet Edwards indicates that John Edwards was the original pick and a lot of Obama / Edwards bumper stickers had been printed.

(I only recently tossed out my Kerry / Edwards stickers.)

Isn’t it a bit troubling for him to pick someone named “Edwards” (even if no relation)?

Yet again you demonstrate the conservative inability to distinguish between a political campaign and the actual governing of a major country. How important is it that Barack Obama’s campaign doesn’t leak the name of the veep? Not at all. How important is it that the Bush administration hides the very basics about how our government works from the people who have to live with the consequences of those decisions?

Very.

Here is why Biden and Bayh make no sense–

1992 and 1996 – Clinton/Gore (Arkansas/Tennessee)
1976 – Jimmy Carter/Walter Mondale (Georgia/Minnesota)
1964 – Lyndon Johnson/Hubert Humphrey (Texas/Minnesota)
1960 – John Kennedy/Lyndon Johnson (Massachusetts/Texas)

At least one from the deep south every time. A Democratic ticket with two northerners has not won over that span, having lost in 68, 72, and 84. In 80, 88, 2000, and 04, when the Democrats had a southerner on the ticket, the Republicans did as well.

The VP should be from a region where Sen. Obama is expected to do badly but can pick up a state or two via his mate’s popularity.
