I Think Obama Should Wait As Long As He Can Before Announcing His Veep Choice

[Me.]

Candidates usually need a running mate out there to help them counter the opposition. Obama is doing just fine and when he finally has a running mate it will be the icing on the cake. McSame’s campaign, on the other hand, is imploding. He’s a disaster and desperately needs help. Yet he thinks he’s being clever by holding off until Obama makes his choice and then McSame will make his based on Obama’s. The longer Obama holds out the longer Johnnie is out there on his own, by his awful loathsome, flipping, flopping and flubbing.

1. Obama will be critized no matter who he chooses, unfortunately

Just like they critized Bill Clinton in 1992 for choosing Senator Al Gore.

7. I really hope the polls are fixed, but a friend who works closely with Gallup...
