Vice Squad
So all the talking heads are saying Biden now. I don’t know, I just don’t feel it. Of course a lot of folks are also still saying Hillary, but I don’t feel that one coming either. Then there are the ones who for some reason think it will be Gore, which just seems retarded — the number one nod was his for the taking and he didn’t want it, why the hell would he want number two?
Kaine or Bayah? Maybe. Just not sure I see him going quite so bland.
My completely unscientific guess right now is Wes Clark. I don’t have anything solid to base that on, just a gut feeling I’ve had for a few weeks now. My top two preferences remain Richardson then Sebelius, of which Sebelius seems more likely, but, eh. At the end of the day I pretty much agree with GoldnI, there aren’t many on the shortlists that are deal breakers. Hillary wouldn’t be enough to lose my vote, but she’d probably kill any remaining enthusiasm. I suppose Nunn would be out of the question, but I’ve never bought the idea that he was really in play anyway.
On McCain’s side? I think Chuck Todd had it right last night when he said something to the effect of if he plays it safe it will be Pawlenty, if he thinks he needs a Hail Mary it will be Lieberman. That said I think he’s not going to do either one. Palin seems to be the smartest choice, but I’m not sure he’s that smart. At the end of the day I’m still thinking it will be Romney. Why? Because of things said and deals made in smoky back rooms to which I’m thankfully not privy.
