It is Friday, 9:08 a.m. and I am sitting here waiting for my txt from Barack with the big news. I literally jump every time my phone makes the slightest noise, so for my sanity I would appreciate no other txts from my friends until the news breaks!
Ok, for the less interesting choice on the Republican front: I have been saying for months now and still feel convinced that McCain will pick Romney. He is talking about Liebermann and others just so that he can show he could have and didn't choose a pro-choice candidate. Apparently for the evangelicals Romney hasn't been pro-life long enough, but he will seem like a relief after talk of Liebermann. Plus I think McCain thinks Romney will help him on the economy (#1 issue this fall) and will give him a potential boost in Michigan.
And on to the VEEP that has us all wanting to know...
My prediction is that Obama will choose Hillary. I did not hold this opinion until this week, and here are my reasons for my predictions:
1) It would explain why she has been so quiet. Not because she was sulking and being a poor looser as we all thought, but because he needed the time in the spotlight while she remained quiet. The only way for her to not overshadow him in the fall.
2) She would be such a shock at this point, and i think they want that sort of excitement.
3) I am feeling more reinforced by they fact that he hasn't announced yet. It is not like they need to introduce the country to Hillary, we know her pretty well.
4) She will deliver the blue-collar rural democrats that he must have to win.
Prediction 2:
Last night it was pointed out that his schedule is unknown for Saturday afternoon after the speech he will do with his VP and it is expected that he will be traveling to the home state of his VP.
My prediction going along with the fact that it will be Hillary is that Saturday afternoon they will spend their time in either Michigan or Florida. Together they will be saying we need you in november, you are our top priority now, sorry we didn't campaign here but we're here now together asking for your support.
So that is my best guess... Please share yours!
