BREAKING--Obama may announce CHET EDWARDS as running mate in minutes

Personally, I think Obama’s campaign is putting all these names out there on the last day so they can gauge the public’s reaction. That way Obama could feel more confident that he was making the right choice...

Not that this will matter because I think Obama IS, if not is EXTREMELY CLOSE to being unelectable at this point.

I should’ve added:
They could also be gauging the backlash within the Dem Party to have their defenses ready! LOL

Woofie brought that .... that maybe folks in

of the night?

At this point .. I have to believe it’s before
the 10 pm (11 pm et)news ... Olympics.

The morning shows start at 6am here ... not
enough people up on a Saturday, I would think
(reasonably) ... but then, who knows.

Joe Biden It Is

A friend who would know tells me Joe Biden is off to the airport and is Illinois bound.

I trust the friend, but I’m not sure about his information. Consider this informed speculation and nothing more. I’m perfectly willing to be wrong, but the signs point to yes and, again, the source tends to be right about these things.

Honestly, I did not see this one coming. Biden is such a disaster waiting to happen.

UPDATE: Clayton points me to this. But there is no new flight plan on file.

UPDATE again: Marc Ambinder noticed the flight too, as well as one to Norfolk. I’m betting Biden since we know Kaine’s been told it is not him.

CNN-John King thinks it’ll be tomorrow am.

I’ve thought ever since Saddleback that Obama would go with Biden. “Elder statesman” and all that crapola.

I think being VP would suit Biden’s big ego.

You guys are over here...I was on the Biden thread. They just flashed on BOR that the Eyebrow didn't get chosen. So you're home and the phone rings...

(Rrrrrrrring)
BARRY: Uh, hello Evan...uh, this is Barack.
BAYH: Oh, hi Barack!
BARRY: Uh, I just wanted to let you know, you're not my VP.
BAYH: Oh, okay, bye.
BARRY: Bye. (slam)

Just to let you gals know...Roger Hedgecock interviewed that nutty Berg tonight on his radio show. And Roger is a serious host. Now back to Mystery Veep.

I am willing to bet that plane in Delaware probably won’t take off until morning.

The lovely Jill Biden

Jill Biden

Meet Jill Biden, a school teacher, English professor and wife of long time United States Senator from Delaware, Joe Biden. Read her biography below and see photos and a video of her.

Jill Biden readily admits that she probably wouldn’t be involved in politics if she hadn’t married Joe Biden. At the same time, she admits that it was her and her family that talked her husband into running for the 2008 nomination of the Democratic Party for the Presidency.

She says she just couldn’t believe that President Bush had been re-elected in 2004. She says that not a single person she knew had voted for President Bush.

(((BOO! She lost me, right there .. lefist tho pretty)))

She says she felt strongly that the country needed her husband, with his 40-year history of service in the Senate, to set the country in the right direction.

She works full time and, during his campaign, spent her weekends campaigning for him, usually in Iowa. She has said she likes being in Iowa.

Jill Biden Biography

Jill Tracy Jacobs was raised in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. She met Joe when she was at the University of Delaware. They were introduced by Joe’s brother. They dated for two years before they married.

She married Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. on June 17, 1977 at the United Nations chapel in New York City. When she married Joe, she married him as well as his two sons from his first marriage. She has said that the whole family married, including going on the honeymoon together.

Joe Biden’s first wife, Neilia Hunter Biden, who he married in 1966, was killed in a car accident on December 18, 1972. His infant daughter, Naomi was also killed in the accident.

Both of his sons, Joseph R. “Beau” Biden III and Robert Hunter Biden, were critically injured in the accident. The 29-year-old Biden was just a month away from taking his Senate seat for the first time. He took his oath of office in the hospital by their bedsides. Both of the boys completely recovered from their injuries.

In addition to Joe’s two sons, Jill and Joe had a daughter in 1981, Ashley Blazer Biden.

Biden is an English professor at the Delaware Technical and Community College. Professionally she has been a reading specialist, an English high school teacher and a teacher in a mental health institution.

Jill founded the Biden Breast Health Initiative that focuses on education of early breast cancer detection.
