3. I believe if she didn't know that she wouldn't have said anything.
Like all the other pundits today.

9. The media are being fed all sort of things from their sources..
I believe the sources really don't know. This is all a big game.

24. With the others told they're not 'it' - word spreads fast. I'd be surprised if Andrea DIDN'T know! -

16. He already said it himself..
plus supposedly the Virginia Democrats who Andrea has probably called have been saying all day they don't think it's him. Nobody knows but Obama and a very tight circle of people.

25. Agreed, she was talking about Biden yesterday ...
and said something to the affect that BO didn't have a real comfort with Biden and they would have to work on that ... Case on point of these idiots just spewing whatever retardness comes to their empty heads ...

She is playing the margins on this one, going on out a limb on speculation ... KNOWING like everything else with these idiots, if she is wrong NO ONE will ever call her on it ...

4. Sources?
The media are still in the stupid zone. At this point it doesn't even matter what they report. they should have gone with Biden long before this, but simple critical thought is never a basis for their opinions and loose rumors are only based on utility to the GOP.

Hillary would cement a Nov landslide

Hillary did not need to be vetted...

20. The supporters of a certain candidate who apparently wasn't even seriously considered for VP.
:evilgrin:

And it's not Kucinich, Edwards, Richardson .... :rofl:

... let no train tracks be unused for reclining. :rofl: The Poor Nell Brigade has become a parody of itself.

Hell ... I was 7 years old when I stopped (after 1 half-hearted try) threatening to run away from home. :shrug:

17. I actually believe that report. I really doubt anyone would state
something that firmly unless they knew for sure.

Personally I've thrilled that it isn't Bayh. I don't dislike the guy, but he's such a milquetoast personality. I still believe we need a junk yard dog as VP, and I don't know any other Dem who's better at that than Joe!

19. You're joking right? This is the woman who reported..
there were no WMDs, because her sources told her so.

28. Son't ya think this is a little different? We're not talking about
some situation thousands of miles away here. We're talking about two people who are in the States and can be called on the phone! Yes, I stand by my belief.

31. Okay, and I'll stand by mine,
Kaine and Bayh probably aren't the ones, but I bet she doesn't have a solid source on whether they've actually been told or not. At any rate, we'll never know.

21. I guess I'll believe it when I see it with my own eyes.
That being said, Biden isn't a bad choice at all. He was in my top 3 (who cares what I think anyway?). I'm positive Obama did not make his pick lightly, whoever it may be. I love the stuff Biden says. My only issue with him is that he does not put actions behind his awesome words, however, as VP, that really isn't what will be required of him anyway. We need someone who is going to be tough on the campaign trail. Someone who doesn't take crap.

23. Keith just said the "G" word
As in GORE.

In the context of "this much buildup has to be for a reason".

I doubt it, but what a ticket that would be.

33. God.. I hope it's not Biden.
I think Biden is okay in what he does, but I just can't see that firing up anyone to vote for the ticket... especially in the midwest and south. I'd be more likely to believe it's Bayh or Chet Edwards. Either of those would make a good ticket.. What about Gephardt? Is he being mentioned at all??
