Joe Biden
I'm reading more and more it'll be him as VP nom. That's the "buzz." But is the buzz ever right?

1. the buzz in '04 was that it would be Gephardt
in retrospect we might have done better with Gep.

2. I'm hoping Biden, predicting Kaine. (The buzz does seem to be a counter-indicator)

5. If the buzz is a counter indicator, then please keep talking up Biden.
Not a fan.

4. Biden has been uncharacteristically silent in the last month...
No talk shows...

Protecting himself from potential gaffes or slip ups maybe?

7. So true... and most likely a result of requests from Obama vetting team. n/t

6. Kaine does not have the experience to help the ticket in that position...
Think for a minute... will voters say 'Why yes, Tim Kaine is the second best choice in the enire country and should be the next president if anything happens to Obama' -- I don't see it.

9. Each prediction is a dart hurled by a monkey at a wall covered in guesses.
Some darts will hit the right guess, but we won't know until Obama texts us.

For the fun of it, I'm predicting someone other than Biden, for no other reason than that it gives me more chances to be right. :)

12. I just keep seeing one thread after another reading "It's Hillary!" "It's Biden!" "It's
Richardson!" "It's Clark!" "It's Gore!"

Nobody knows who it is. Nobody knows.

Jesus effing Christ already.

13. The buzz is from the MSM -- not from anybody who actually KNOWS anything.
I'm thinking we may all be surprised.
