Before you know it, we are going to have a nominee picked for Vice President by both Barack Obama and John McCain, as two weeks from tonight, the Democratic choice for the number two slot will speak to his or her party's convention.
Three weeks from tonight, it will be the Republican VP nominee getting the limelight.
Who is picking whom, I will again say, I have no idea. When they will do it is also a question. Do you wait until the Friday before the convention? Or into the weekend?
As you have probably heard, Obama is going to be announcing his pick via text message to anyone who wants to sign up. As for John McCain, his camp is evidently going to put their pick on post cards that have pictures of Paris Hilton and mail them out to supporters.
Hardy-har-har-har, Alice. Just kidding.
As for who Obama might choose, the political markets on the internet seem to think that Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana (the son of one time Presidential candidate and Senator, Birch Bayh) is the favorite, with Kathleen Sebelius second.
"Who?" you ask, is that? She's the Governor of Kansas.
On the GOP side, most money is still on Mitt Romney to be the pick of John McCain, though I guess with so many people on the same wavelength, maybe McCain will just play the role of a contrarian and bet the Don't Come line on that one.
Dick Morris checked in with a column today that says McCain should pick Joe Lieberman. I still think while that might play well in the press, it will not play well in conservative circles of the GOP and could end up hurting more than helping.
But that's why I'm a reporter, and not a paid campaign strategist.
18 days are left in August. And we should have two pretty big decisions in that time frame for the two presidential candidates.
