"His district does include Crawford though, so he is the President's Congressman."

Could it be that, in his complete arrogance and desire to thumb his nose at Bush, that this is the MAIN reason that Obama has Edwards on the short list? Is it so he can say, in effect, "Ha ha, Mr. President, I'm going to beat you over the head with your own congressman?" If so, Obama is even more "out there" than I thought.

I'm trying to stay up to see Obamarama's pick. But, I'm fading fast...

And now that Drama Queen Shep is on Fox, seems like a good time to click off the TV.

Guess I'll catch it in the morning. ;-)

Maybe it’ll prompt McCain to choose a conservative running mate for himself. That would be good.

I had this horrible feeling that it would do the opposite...McCain might think he's the conservative part and then stick Joe Leiberman on the ticket to balance Barry/Chet.

But Allegra, no need to wait breathlessly...you can have this most earth shattering news sent right to your cellphone the moment it is announced. Just put your phone right next to your pillow and a little beep will wake you the minute it occurs! ;)

Shep is tripping out today, like most days. He has really turned into a flippant idiot. Plus the fact that he is a big LIB, and gay.

This is becoming like the big John Edwards scoop of a couple of weeks ago. Wait until everyone has gone home for the weekend before breaking the story. What does he have to be ashamed of it he wants to make the announcement in Friday night obscurity?

Just odd.

Rush said perhaps he’d do it tonight during the Olympics...you know, people are sitting quietly at home watching the games and then NBC BREAKING NEWS ALERT with all the Drive-Bys breathlessly reporting at the scene.

Ha. I’m sure all the sports fans are going to love having events interrupted to watch Chrissy Matthews hyperventilate.

K-LO at NR gets a tip that it might be Bill Nelson of Florida:

“It’s Bill Nelson [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

A reader points out:

K-Lo:
Obama’s running mate will be Bill Nelson. Go to www.obamabiden.com and see what’s there. Now go to www.obamakaine.com. Now check out www.obamanelson.com.
www.obamanelson.com is the Obama website. Of course, kathrynjeanlopez.com redirects to www.nationalreview.com .... anyone could do that ....

Another reader points out:
both domains (barackobama.com and obamanelson.com) are registered to the same person, so whoever redirected the Obama/Nelson domain isn’t just “anybody”. Either it’s a headfake for the techno-savvy or Nelson’s the guy. “
