Vice Presidential Timing Thoughts

So here's what we know right now about Barack Obama's schedule. He's in Florida, then (Martinsville, not Richmond) Virginia on Wednesday (sted Thursday) and then tentatively he is scheduled to return home to Chicago. Weird for a middle of a week... The campaign is silent on what will happen after that.

If McCain wants to nominate a pro-choicer, he'd probably do so soon -- as in, this week, or next week. That way, delegates wouldn't arrive in Minneapolis as angry.

If Obama wants to hold the suspense of the press corps and the country, he'll probably wait until the convention itself -- maybe the weekend before, maybe the Sunday before.... maybe during the convention. Particularly if the pick is a big name.. a name that will generate excitement, he'd be wise to wait.
