The Nigh Seen Creeder

B. Hussein Obama is going to announce his choice for VP tomorrow. In keeping with the hip 'n' cool theme of his campaign, he will send a text message to supporters before rolling his choice out to the media.

According to several media sources, Obama has narrowed his VP list down to three: Senator Joe Biden (Delaware), Sen. Evan Bayh (Indiana), and Governor Tim Kaine (Virginia). If that is indeed the case, I would bet that Evan Bayh will be the Democratic vice presidential candidate when we all go to bed tomorrow.

I just don't see Joe Biden getting picked. He's a loose cannon who has said some dumb things over the years, like suggesting that you cannot go into a convenience store in the Northeast unless you have an Indian accent. And a lot of folks can't mention his name without mentioning the fact that he had to drop his 1988 presidential bid when it was discovered that he'd plagiarized large portions of his speeches from the leader of the British Labour Party.

Tim Kaine is a bad choice because he's actually served less time in his elected office than Obama has served in his. Obama's been slammed repeatedly for his lack of experience. Imagine the barbs he'll have to endure if he adds to his ticket someone who's been in office just two-and-a-half years.

So, my money's on Bayh. He's a moderate with a strong pro-military track record, and he gives Obama a chance to peel a red state away from the Republicans.

UPDATE: Obama's VP announcement has been pushed back until tomorrow. Talking heads this morning are talking-up Gov. Tim Kaine. I still say that Obama will choose Sen. Evan Bayh.
