    Why are we fooling ourselves?

    It has to be Clinton! Personally, I'm not too sure it's the correct choice, but soooo many Hillary supporters will be alienated if she isn't the veep nominee that it might cripple Obama.

    All this talk about other contenders is just free publicity for them. I had never even heard of this Tim Kaine guy, so the free publicity worked on me.

    I don't see the hardcore bible-thumpers voting for a guy named "Cain", anyway.
