The Obama train has been going nonstop this week with the DNC in full swing in the mile high city - and rightfully so. The Republicans will get their convention soon enough and the media will swoon like Southern belles when McCain and crue take center stage.
But what's this? A skillful maneuver by the Republicans to get a little attention during the Dems week to shine? Looks like it. Everyone's whispering about McCain's pick for veep. McCain tells the media that he hasn't made up his mind, and people start whispering even louder.
So who's it going to be? Lieberman, Romney, a dark horse whose name hasn't yet emerged? I'm not sure it matters. All the potential picks I've seen are a yawn fest, and I'm not sure he could stop the momentum Obama has even if he picked Batman as his running mate.
Seriously, the Republican party is picking a platform that consists of making abortion and stem cell research illegal. Maybe that makes your hardcore constituency happy, but I'm willing to bet a majority of the American people roll their eyes at those choices. Obama's got the theme, the momentum and for a change, he's energized his party into a frenzy that's going to slam the polls come Nov. 4.
McCain's got people whispering.
