Veep too late

Whomever he chooses, Obama should have moved earlier to select his running mate.

    It's going to be a let-down

    Obama's strung us along so much on the VP choice that, at this point, hearing that his choice is Biden or any other the other ho-hum yawn-invokers is going to be a big let-down. If it's not Hillary or Gore or some other big name, this has all been a poorly orchestrated, anti-climactic exercise that makes me question Obama's judgment. Kind of like Geraldo Rivera opening Al Çapone's vault. Or someone opening that great big, mysterious Christmas package that you've been thinking about for weeks only to find out it contains socks and underwear. I wan't Hillary Clinton, damnit, not socks and underwear!
