In my humble opinion, I think Obama has held his VP cards incredibly close to the chest

[debbierlus]

I really don't have any idea who he will pick.

Nothing would surprise me. (Well, okay, if he picked Cheney :) .....that would surprise me.

Maybe I am not reading the signs right, but I haven't got a clue. And, it wouldn't surprise me, if NONE of the major names end up
the final nominee.

1. That is the way he wants it.

He already said that any speculation of a VP candidate is just that, speculation! He said that he will announce his running mate in due time.

2. Kaine might be a willing red herring

To distract the media this week.

9. I think so too..

when he didn't announce Kaine right after all the buzz, I though, well it's not Kaine then.

10. it could be that they wanted a small leak to see what the blogoshpere came up with

(we should get a check lol)

The fact that he was on with Rose last night may mean that you have to do a few shows as an audition.

3. Believe me, if somebody leaked that Obama was considering Cheney for VP

there would be those here who would bite on the rumor. Certainly a stretch, but a ridiculous one for effect.

4. Agree -- it's the media and people like many of us on DU who are

floating the names and probabilities. We've all got it figured out. :7

I'm REALLY dying to find out, though -- curiosity is killing me.

8. I have come to realize I have really bad political instincts

In terms of forecasting how things will go....

I am either ridiculously optimistic, or darkly pessimistic.

5. I heard a rumor that he's going to pick Sasha Baron Cohen.

[Oceansaway]

6. but he doesn't wear a flag pin !!....n/t

7. I Hope His Administration

Is also free of leaks.
