I’ve got this straight from David Plouffe, Barack Obama’s campaign manager.
Ok, I got it straight from Plouffe—via three intermediaries. You know, kind of like that scene in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off—“My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.”
But Obama’s number one pick for Veep as of today is (drum roll please!)
Sen. John Kerry!
Huh?
Yup the guy who ran for President from my party—and lost—four years ago. And his goofy wife Teresa Heinz.
And who else is on The List?
In no particular order, Gov. Tim Kaine (unacceptable), Sen. Joe Biden (acceptable) and Sen. Evan Bayh (who?).
No woman. No Hillary. No general. No decent governor like Kathleen Sebelius, Bill Richardson, Mark Warner, or Brian Schweitzer.
Let’s hope my best friend’s sister’s boyfriend has it wrong.
Why, Obama, why have you become such a dork since the primaries?
