VEEPSTAKES: Narrowing the Names

VEEPSTAKES: Narrowing the Names

BY TAYLOR MARSH

We're getting down to it. On Wednesday at the convention, the topic is "Securing America’s Future - Tribute to Veterans, Active Duty Military & Military Families."

Pick the veep. Time has a good guide: "Obama's Shortened Veep List":

Those already scheduled to speak are likely out of it, though nothing is locked in. Of those left, only Wesley Clark does it for me.


SPEAKERS
Clinton (speaking)
Sebelius (speaking)
MacCaskill (speaking)
Warner (keynote speaker)
Bayh (speaking)
Biden (speaking)

NOT SPEAKING
Wesley Clark
Chris Dodd
Tim Kaine
Jack Reed
John Kerry
Sam Nunn


Anyone not listed that's in the running? Serve it up and talk it out.

TM LIVE on summer hiatus...

"We're working harder than ever to get back on radio. This takes time, so be patient. We're also traveling to look for a new locale from which to broadcast, have a base, report and do politics. It's a very exciting time with many possibilities. I'll keep everyone posted. I'll likely do radio shows on the fly when I can, however, the blog stays the same. Laptops travel!" - Taylor Marsh

She's trash.

I can't ever seem to find that station either, grant!!

:shrug:

Or have they announced all the speakers?

He's my first choice...

I was going to post it here for Richardson fans, but I forgot. But rest assured, he'll be speaking. :hi:

I would not read too much in these lists. First, Thursday schedule has not been announced and there are still some slots free, I think.

Second, it would be easy for Obama to take somebody announced for Wednesday, or to move somebody from another day to Wednesday, if this person is his choice. (and, if it has to be one of the three names that the media repeat, I hope it is Biden).

Though I'm not sure in what capacity. Because of the Wednesday "theme" happens to coincide with Clark's website, I'm thinking the General might have it, at this point. But Richardson will be there on the right night, so I haven't ruled him out.

Wes,
:yourock:

including, about Georgia,

'I've sent some thoughts in to Barack Obama's foreign policy team . . . .'

and is appearing on CNN at 5 today, edt, and on Fox Sunday.

Holding my breath again, Shireen!

So unless they were blowing smoke, those NOT on the list would seem to be out of it...but who knows LOL

have to admit how TOTALLY awesome my acumen really is!!!!

:rofl:

... as much as Wes Clark. It's gotta be The General!!

For those who don't click links much.:)

I don't think the list of speakers at the DNC has anything to do with who the VP nominee will be. I'm certainly not ruling out anyone on the speaking list... just seems like a silly way to eliminate possibilities to me.

Jerome Armstrong over at MyDD made this logical misstep the other day too - - there is no relationship between the speaking roles at the convention and the VP possibilities. The people planning the convention are not the same people advising Obama on picking the vice presidential nominee. And the speaking schedule can be changed in literally 60 seconds.

I'm cool with Hillary now but it wouldn't have been so painful if it hadn't been for the extreme behaviors from some of her supporters and this PUMA crap.

Anyway though, I think Clark is probably the best choice, despite his recent swiftboating by the MSM.
