WASHINGTON - Presidential candidate Barack Obama said Friday the running mate he has chosen — but has not yet announced — had to meet three standards to join the Democratic ticket: Prepared to be president, able to help him govern and willing to challenge his thinking. ....
"Obviously, the most important question is: Is this person ready to be president?" Obama said in an interview aired Friday on "The Early Show" on CBS. Second, he said, was: "Can this person help me govern? Are they going to be an effective partner in creating the kind of economic opportunity here at home and guiding us through some dangerous waters internationally?"

This is how his presidency would be too. Started out he would tell us Monday, then Tues on and on. I don’t care if he ever announces. My prediction - they change their mind and you won’t know till the convention.
What is taking him so long to announce his running mate? Can’t he find anyone willing to take the job?
In 1-2 hours I expect the AP to release a story on the wires how Obama may NOT announce his running mate later today. [yawn]
Whoop-de-doo.
Another communist, certainly.
The only question, is which communist, and of which flavor.
Marxist-Leninist
Stalinist
Maoist
Castroista
Proselyte of Ho Chi Minh
Acolyte of Pol Pot
To be announced 5 minutes after Rush goes off the air. HAHAHA
how does obama keep the MSM idiots in suspense?
I’ll tell you later...
Hillary?
Yeah. This whole thing looks pretty silly now. Seems like a way to stop people from talking about his poor showing at Saddleback and his lies about what his vote was regarding the Born Alive protection bill. He drug this out for the entire week.
Typical Lib. Can’t make up his bloody mind.
Maybe he should pick John McCain. He did say he was a uniter didn’t he? :)
I wonder if he would pull a Chuck Hagel out of the bag! Senator Hagel agrees with his war stance and would fit the criteria. Plus that would garner some Republican votes.
Yup. It’s going to be Hillary.
“Yeah. This whole thing looks pretty silly now. “
Yep! Unless Hillary, everyone will yaaaaaawn!
> Hillary?
She’s a Stalinist.
My assessment is that Obama will tend more towards the Maoist flavor.
Well maybe the Anti War Republicans..
William Ayers would be an excellent choice.
Wait! How can he expect his V.P. to be ready to be President if he’s not ready??
