Since I posted my VP picks, Biden has become the favorite to be Obama's right-hand man. Apparently, they WERE waiting for my input. It seems likely that Biden will be the guy.
The Republicans appear less certain. I think their pick may have a great deal to do with what Obama does. If Biden is the selection, I wonder if Pawlenty's stock drops. I see Biden opening a can of whoop-ass on Pawlenty in a debate. I think McCain would prefer someone like Ridge or Liebermann but knows the fallout from the right could be fatal. He may stick with Pawlenty or feel as though he has to suck it up and pick Romney and his hair gel.
It may depend on where McCain stands in another week or so. If he needs a safe pick, Pawlenty is the guy. If needs to take a risk he might go for Ridge or Liebermann. If he settles for something in between, it will be Romney. I think he really wants Ridge or Liebermann.
Of course, Obama has scheduled to campaign appearance Saturday in Springfield. That might fuel speculation that Obama has indeed selected Ralph Wiggum. If that's the case, McCain would have no choice but to select Ned Flanders.
