Obama's Veep

Alright Senator...Out with it. You've played the game well. The Media has devoured the hype and exhausted all possibilities (even Gov Phil Bredesen, D-TN) for heaven's sakes. Announce the pick. I know I didn't sign up for the text message announcement and you've enjoyed stringing democrats along but give it up. Several great options are out there including Governor Bredsen but if you could just give Adam here a heads up, I'd greatly appreciate it.

In all seriousness, Team Obama has played his perfectly. It's 3:30 on the Friday before the convention and all anybody can talk about is who the VP pick is. Sitting here in a Caribou Coffee shop on 14th and Rhode Island Ave, everyone is in a tizzy. I've counted 12 people candidly discussing who they want or which man or woman will carry which state. I think Biden is the best choice for what he brings to the ticket from a foreign policy standpoint and someone who could help him get legislation passed. He'd be a great attack dog and would mop the floor with Mitt Romney or Tim Pawlenty in a debate. Clearly, my opinion is what matters here so Senator, go ahead and do it. Announce Biden.
