First they were saying we'd probably hear by Wednesday. Then Thursday came and went. Then they said we'd probably know Friday because the candidate would be appearing with Obama Saturday. But Friday came and went too with no announcement (and even late evening specualtion it might be Evan Bayh). My thought is that the Obama campaign was wishing to not allow talk radio shows to immediately begin to educate the public on the negatives of Biden. This way Rush and Sean etc. have to wait till Monday. But thankfully there's the internet with places like NewsBusters for this weekend!

Let me just say a few things here...

The Obama campaign has said what they want to say knowing that they can
say it no more.  The Obama camp can no longer use the race card
pre-emptively because of Joe Biden's remarks pertaining to 7-11 stores
and Obama himself.   Obama supporters can no longer talk about the
"stolen" 2000 election because Obama did not win the popular vote. 
Obama can no longer talk about McCain being a "Washington Insider". 
Obama can no longer talk about McCain's 7 homes (although it was said
in Biden's speech today. Biden said "Ladies and gentlemen, your kitchen table is like mine. You sit there at
night before you put the kids, after you put the kids to bed and you
talk, you talk about what you need. You talk about how much you're
worried about being able to pay the bills. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
that's not a worry John McCain has to worry about. It's a pretty hard
experience. He'll have to figure out which of the seven kitchen tables
to sit at." 
"Your kitchen table is like mine"????????????  How large was the home
that poor Joey Biden left today to accept his invitation?  I only wish
that people supporting this choad would see that he has nothing to
worry about financially just as McCain or any other senator does.  This
is purely politics, although, the statement was met with cheers as if
Biden had walked on stage wearing a burlap sack, cutoff gloves and a
half-eaten can of generic baked beans.  If only the weak-minded would
open their eyes (and minds) and recognize that these are politicians
who are pretending that they are also upper-lower-middle-classers.  

Let me add a bottom line here: Dick Morris has been quite an asset
for those of us who have been looking for an insider's view on the way
things have been.  It's been a fear of mine, however, that Mr. Morris
will (and may have) provided a standing for which the democrats have
picked up and run with.  Dick Morris has been instrumental in providing
details that, until he opened his mouth, were unknown to the likes of
the layperson.  Mr. Morris has pointed out that in the 1992 election
Hillary was intentionally made the focal point.  Even at the Republican
Convention Hillary was the focal point.  Mr. Morris successfully
detracted from Bill Clinton by making someone else the focus of the
media and those involved. Does anyone else find it odd that before
Biden spoke the McCain campaign had an ad out dealing with the
subject?  Obama is looking for a way to detract attention from himself
and he has most certainly found it.  He chose a man who, not only made
racist comments about Indians and Obama himself, but has such a
tremendous bout of diarrhea of the mouth that the media and attention
will magnetize to him.  While everyone is focusing on Biden, Obama will
slip into the shadows and receive nothing as far as critical attention
is concerned.  It worked for Bill Clinton and it will work for Obama if
we're not careful.  Obama named a man who is the antithesis of who
Obama claims to be.  Again, he cannot attack McCain for being an
insider anymore.  After all, McCain is not much older and Biden has
been in Washington longer.  Obama seeks to be out of the spotlight now
that he has baked in it.  Granted, Joe Biden is a loud-mouthed NoBama,
but if we all focus on that like Obama wants us to, we will have lost
focus on what's important.  Anyone will tell you that the VP pick is
trivial in the grand scheme of things, let's not make it more than it
is.  Keep the focus on Obama.  Keep the focus where Obama doesn't want
it which is on him.  I can promise that Biden will make remarks that
are intentionally crude, rude, outlandish and noteworthy, but listen
people, that is called strategy.  The less focus on Biden and the more
focus on Obama is best.  

Rub your eyes, clear your lungs of the smoke screen and let's get on
with what really matters - Obama is clueless and smoke and mirrors
cannot detract from the fact that our country deserves better.
