I'm being driven slowly insane by the media coverage of Obama's VP choice. Here is the status of Obama's selection, as well as I can divine it: No one has any information other than that Obama has decided, and that he will announce it within the next few days.
That exhausts the category of things known. But those facts aren't anywhere near enough ground to cover. People are interested, so it's important that when they turn on the television, pundits are yapping about the Veepstakes. Everyone has their lists of possible picks--I imagine if you compiled a super-list from all of the supposed 'short lists,' it would encompass every federal and state-executive Democrat, and most of the moderate Republicans.
Today, I listened to 'Talk of the Nation' on NPR, and the host went on and on about Obama's text-message schtick! (What does this say about his ability to lead? Slippery slope? Will he deliver the Sttate of the Union in leet-speak? etc.)
Really, Vice President is one of the least important decisions that Obama will make.
And I think it's probably going to be Biden, Kaine, Bayh, Bowie, or Sebelius.
