Late Morning Break...Obama in Florida and VP Secret

Obama knows who the VP is, but is not telling, just yet

There is much buzz going around about "who" the person is. The cable desk clerks are chirping away at Evan Bayh, Joe Biden and Tim Kaine, but something inside me says it is someone else.

I, personally think it will be Tim Kaine, Governor of Virginia. The reason is that he and Obama are pretty much on the same page, near the same age, and they get along with each other. Those things, to me, are very important to get things done and not apt to continuous drama behind the scenes. Plus, why take another senator from the senate to run? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Well, many others around me think the nod will go to Kathleen Sebelius, Governor of Kansas or General Wesley Clark. I would not be surprised. The Obama Campaign has been genius in faking people out, not revealing the real card, letting folks know one thing and then trump them with something else. Anyway, there are only a handful of top level Obama folks that know the answer and listening to the cable desks clerks chirping about "they spoke to someone in the campaign" does not mean a hill of beans at this moment.

Obama is expected to make his decision public by the end of this week, ahead of next Monday's Democratic National Convention.

He and his staff have made the veepstakes Washington's hottest guessing game, and to avoid having the name leak out, fewer than a half-dozen of Obama's aides know whom he has selected.

All I can advise is to make sure you are part of the Obama Text Messaging, because we will know FIRST, before the media. If you want to join up, click here.

And John McCain will announce his VP Pick the day "after" the Democratic Convention. It is called, attempting to "steal the thunder".

dansac has a great post on the speech Obama gave to the VFW Conference in Florida. He analyzes why McCain voted for the war, pushed going to war with Iraq after 9/11 and emphasizes McCain voting against billions of dollars veterans.

When you are a scoundrel, you can't run and hide against the very things you voted for.
