DEL.ICIO.USDrowning in vice presidential prospects
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta will be awash in vice presidential prospects this week.
On Tuesday, former senators Sam Nunn of Georgia and William Cohen of Maine will hold a seminar on national service at the downtown Marriott Marquis.
Both men have been mentioned as possible running mates for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama — Nunn more so than Cohen.
Tickets for the 10 a.m. event have already been distributed, so most of you will have to wait for the Internet broadcast.
On the same day, the Republican Governors Association begins a two-day conference at the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta on 14th Street.
Two attendees, Charlie Crist of Florida and Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, are routinely listed as potential running mates for Republican presumptive John McCain. Haley Barbour of Mississippi and host Sonny Perdue of Georgia will also be present.
Both have also been mentioned as vice presidential timber — though their names have surfaced less lately.

Does this mean there won’t be any tables open at the Pink Pony?

Shouldn’t there be a Secret Service rule about having all your VP prospects in the same city on the same day?
