Sometime this week I think I'll be getting a text message
and this place will go absolutley apeshit with half the people saying great pick and half the people saying we lost the election. My perspective is VP candidates have 3 events.

The announcement
The Convention Speech
The VP Debate

After that they spend most of their time attacking the GOP candidate and going through swing states with a stump speech on why the candidate is such a great guy.

As long as they don't do something incredibly stupid they don't hurt or help that much.

So no matter who Obama picks I'm going to have faith that his advisors know more than I do and have done their homework because they haven't let me down to much to this point and keep my fingers crossed. Hopefully most people here will do the same after the intial craziness.

3. Adding One Thing: The Vetters may know things that we'll never know about the choices.
So if someone we just "know" would be the best VP doesn't get picked, perhaps there are reasons we'll never be privy to.

Great post.

6. I think it will be announced at the convention. It will attract more viewers
and keep the suspense up
