3. Probably not for at least a few weeks, IMO...
Kerry didn't announce his VP choice until July 2004.

8. I'd like to see it in the next week or so...
It's pretty exciting now and doing an announcement right on the heels of clinching the nomination would be a plus for him, IMO. It'd keep the excitement and momentum going.

4. Not for awhile...
but give it time, ccharles! We're only beginning to come to grips with Obama as president! The VP hype is just the media, uselessly speculating as usual.

6. It would normally be afew weeks prior toi the connvention
Clinton, in making it a campaign issue, might have pushed the calendar forward a great deal.

11. yes, Lou Dobbs is peeing his pants trying to push for an announcement
of who is going to be VP. Donna Brazile pretty much shut him up and honestly, I don't know why I have him on, can't stand the guy!
