The Veep Race

Tuesday August 19, 2008
Politico reports that John McCain will name his vice presidential running mate on his 72nd birthday: Friday 29 August. That's also the day after the Democratic National Convention ends.

Speculation about Barack Obama's running mate remains rife. The faithful wait for a text message or email notice.

Update 1: Obama picks Sen. Joe Biden.

Update 2: McCain picks Gov. Sarah Palin.

Kathy;

What do you think?
Will voters blithely cast their ballots for a ticket that puts a 2-year governor a heartbeat away from 72 year-old John McCain?
Isn’t that going to be the real issue here?
Looking forward to your response.
