In less than 20 days, everyone will know Obama's VP pick

[ProSense]

He's going to surprise everyone. It absolutely will not be Hillary or anyone high on the list of speculative candidates. Mark my word.

Obama did two things with the Bill Clinton announcement, and both involved keeping the media guessing.

Your opinions may vary, but Hillary is not going to be the VP. Sorry.

1. It's Bayh. Bill will introduce Bayh whom Bill knows well.

[zulchzulu]

2. I would loathe the Repigs whining "Obama Bye!" at grassroots events...

Obama/Bayh would be a very stupid choice for a variety of reasons, namely that Bayh is boring and couldn't deliver Indiana anyway.

[ProSense]

3. I don't think so. n/t

[liberalmuse]

4. Well, I'll take that for what it's worth.

[TornadoTN]

5. I would love to see a Governor in that role

Schweitzer, Sebelius, or my personal favorite, Bredesen.

It almost makes too much sense to put a Governor in that role. We have a fine crop of them.

[Colobo]

6. I'd hate to see Bayh as VP.

[PresidentObama]

7. I don't think you can tell Obama who will and won't be his VP.

Any, I don't think it'll be Hillary. But it's my place to say it won't be her. Who knows.

My moneys on Bayh or Kaine.

[Tektonik]

8. Hopefully it is Hil. Truth is no one has any clue.

Obama has done a great job at keeping his pick (if he's even decided yet) pretty close to his vest.

[Schema Thing]

9. It's So gonna be Al Sharpton

the perfect attack dawg

[Odin2005]

10. I'm hoping for Kathleen Sebelius.

n/t

[ProSense]

13. She's a good choice, but

I still think we're in for a real surprise.

[Motown_Johnny]

11. Chuck Todd reported that he has been told by the campaign "You won't be surprised" Hillary would be

a huge surprise

They scheduled her to speak on Tuesday for a reason, it was the unofficial announcement that she is not the VP

[RichGirl]

19. We've been discussing Hillary being...

...the pick non-stop. How would that be a surprise. Most dems, not the DU minority, expect it.

[Mojambo]

12. Schweitzer! Schweitzer! Schweitzer! n/t

[Hutzpa]

14. I smell excitement in your voice eom

[ProSense]

15. Possibly, but I see a drawback

he was a huge McCain fan, supported him in 2000. At one point during this election cycle he said if Romney ran he might be tempted to vote for him.

This may mean nothing today though.

[wanpete]

16. I totally agree. Obama is head-faking the press. Chuck T. said he was told directly by the Obama

campaign that their pick would not be a surprise. Totally head-faking the press. It will not be one of the names floated. I trust Obama and am content to wait to hear the news from him.

[Peacetrain]

17. I just hope he does it sooner,

rather than later, and some of this silliness will settle down.

[politicasista]

18. I hope so too

:hi:

[Peacetrain]

20. It would make things a lot less ambiguous for sure

:hi:

[ProSense]

21. I believe it will be later,

closer to the convention. Have to hand it to Obama, no one has a clue who he's going to choose.

[Peacetrain]

25. No kidding

:) Obama has everyone going in circles guessing. My hope would be Mark Warner. I guess I can guess too

[TexasObserver]

22. Bill doesn't know it, but he'll be introducing ... Bill Richardson!!

No, probably Biden or Kerry.

[ProSense]

23. I don't think Bill is introducing anyone.

Richardson may still be high on the VP list though. Who knows?

[TexasObserver]

26. He'll play the sax as Stevie Wonder sings Ebony & Ivory

and scene.

24. I said something similar in another thread

People are getting their panties in a ruffle over the whole thing. Now that the Olympics have started, it's pretty much put coverage of the election on the back burner.

I also think that those former Clinton supporters are going to be VERY disappointed when she is not picked as VP. Expect a rather large backlash.
