Well, since we’ve all been talking the issue up on the net and everyone else is doing it, I figure I might as well make my pointless predictions on Obama and McCain running mates.
Something in my gut tells me that neither one is going to go with the supposed ‘front runner choice’. Either he will go with one of the other leading contenders or he will go with someone completely out of the blue. I think Biden and Romney are simply stalking horses.
For Senator Obama:
If he goes with one of the front runners, I think it will be Senator Bayh of Indiana.
However, I suspect he will do something different and pick Senator Salazar of Colorado.
Super surprise pick would of course be Clinton.
For Senator McCain:
If he goes with one of the front runners, I think it will be Governor Pawlenty of Minnesota
However, as with Obama, I think he will do something different and pick Governor Crist of Florida
Super surprise pick would be Joe Lieberman (despite the conservative protests)
