VP Watch: Good Tidings

18 Aug 2008 03:05 pm

Item: Gov. Kathleen Sebelius will launch Michigan Women for Obama tomorrow on Tuesday. Do reporters have any real evidence that his choosing her is "less likely?" Or, are we just guessing?

Item: Sen. Joe Biden returns from Georgia. Will he give interviews?  

Question: was Chris Dodd disqualified by the Countrywide Mortgage questions? Because I hear that vetting of him continued after...

Item: Democratic advance folks being called to Chicago ....

Item: A VP roll-out requires an advance team as big as 20... the candidates, their spouses, the event site, the international media... and then a team that's ready to leave with the VP candidate and his or her spouse. So ... look for large gatherings of Democratic advance folks.

Question: Has the Obama campaign vetted Gov. Kaine's stance on clean coal?  They do like his ability to talk about off-shore drilling.... Virginia's economic landscape is "bleak."

Question: What does Michelle Obama think?  What type of advice is she giving? Do you think she'd be the type of person who'd say, "Barack, I think you need to pick someone who's going to shore up your national security credentials?"  Or "Barack, I think you gotta pick someone you can explicitly trust."

Question: Why are Republicans all of the sudden convinced that Obama's going to pick HRC?
