Libertarian shops for activist judge
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Barr, the former Georgian congressman and now Libertarian candidate for president, filed suit to force Saddleback Church in California to include him in its presidential forum this evening with John McCain and Barack Obama.
The effort failed. But it is exceedingly strange to have a supposed Libertarian using the federal courts to try to force church doors to open to him.
Instead, according to a Los Angeles TV station, Barr will speak at a town hall meeting at the Islamic Institute of Orange County.
The joint appearance will be televised at 8 p.m. on CNN. Those who wish to do so can comment on the event live here on this thread.
UPDATE: A commenter below corrects me, pointing out that the event will also be broadcast on Fox and MSNBC.

Who will be the running mates?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Pretty soon now, Obama and McCain will be naming their running mates, but both camps have succeeded in keeping their discussions on the subject secret. It’s hard to know who the frontrunners are in either party.
Who’s it going to be? My guesses — just blind guesses — would be Jack Reed of Rhode Island for Obama, and Charlie Crist of Florida for McCain.
So step on up and make your predictions. Those who get both predictions right will be recognized in a later post with our prestigious Veep Visionary award (ooooh, ahhhh!).
