If Obama announces his choice tomorrow he is likely on the phone

[saltpoint]

tonight sometime to tell the shortlist prospects of his decision.

I am hoping a good biographer is accompanying the campaign and can reveal the behind-the-scenes glimpses of the campaign down the road some time.

1. from watching it happen tonight in lynchburg

that would be areal cool thing to do..

[saltpoint]

7. grannie4peace, from the sounds of your original thread on

the Lynchburg event tonight here on DU, you are doing more than just watching.

You are putting your good spirit on the line for a good man at a crucial time. Thank you for going to that event and thank you especially for the GREAT post. I thought it kicked butt!

[Lucinda]

2. I think the Veep already knows. And the other shortlisters too.

Maybe as early as the night before last...I could be wrong though :)

[saltpoint]

3. I think that's an excellent hunch, wlucinda, and by the way,

it is really good to see you on the boards.

[Lucinda]

4. Thanks. I'm in and out....lousy health. But it's an exciting week!

so....i'm pushing it a bit. Hope you and yours are all well. :hi:

[saltpoint]

5. Well, I'll send you all the good vibes from the olive groves and anything

else that might work.

Get better. We need you at full-tilt for the Fall!

[Lucinda]

10. Thanks! It's permanent. So I avoid this place like the plague when it gets really nasty.

Which has been a LOT of the time this cycle. LOL

Olive groves sound peaceful. :)

[saltpoint]

13. Olive trees live more than a thousand years. I discovered an

affinity with them from my interest in the ancient world -- "in a world still new."

Hat's off to ya, good person.

[Lucinda]

24. Well maybe that olive oil I had tonight will do me good

:)

6. I hope he is phoning into Kansas now to tell the Gov she got the spot!

[saltpoint]

8. Hi, beyurslf. If the Kansas call is a greenlight, I'm on board

heart and soul.

I think Governor Sebelius would be a dandy choice. No complaints!

[beyurslf]

9. Well I suppose we will know one way or the other in a few days at the most!

[Condem]

11. Your gut feeling, Crusoe????

[saltpoint]

12. Hey Condem. It's tough. I think Kaine and Biden are the finalists.

How 'bout you? How does it look from the Hawkeye State?

If you make a case for Richardson and Sebelius, though, or someone else, I'm just as open to that.

Obama has the sweet deep bench. McCain has to pick thru the discards at the State hospital.

[Condem]

15. It CANNOT be Sebelius.

That will piss off the Clinton people. Other than that, I honestly, don't have a clue. If those are the three finalists, I think were in deep shit.

[saltpoint]

17. Well, then, under that kind of analystic pressure, I predict it's

Gordon Lightfoot.

Posted that earlier today. Not a lot of takers so far!

He might piss off the heavy metal people, but other than them, I think he's hot stuff.

[Condem]

18. The Canadian Bruce Springsteen.

Love him. What happened to Caroline Schwarzeneegar????

[saltpoint]

19. One last word on Gordon Lightfoot.

I really do love those recordings.

I can do the Stones and Rachmaninoff as well, but at certain times only a Lightfoot recording will do.

Of Lightfoot's music, Bob Dylan said, "When you hear one of his songs, you want it to last forever." As praise goes, I think that's pretty sturdy.

Another post or two is up on Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg. An angry crowd has gathered outside my house with torches, shouting angry and coarse phrases because I want her on the ticket.

Well, let them shout.

Another ten minutes and this bazooka will be fully loaded.

[Condem]

20. If I had a rocket launcher..

Wait, that's Bruce Cockburn.

[saltpoint]

21. LOL!

[quantass]

14. Last i heard it was Edward Norton's crew that was Bio'ing Obama's prez run

[saltpoint]

16. Norton is a class act. I'd trust him to put something together well

worth a look.

[Hieronymus]

22. Somone suggested that he might not even call his choice until a

minute before he sends out the text message. it would certainly prevent leaks.

[saltpoint]

23. It would. But they have a Saturday gig in Springfield, so at some

point they'd have to get somebody on an airplane.

I guess if it was Evan Bayh he could just drive over.
