This is encouraging for any future world leader:

"Senator John McCain is so quick to pick up his gold-colored cellphone to solicit advice — from senators, campaign consultants, even the stray former deputy press secretary — that aides, concerned about his tendency to adopt the last opinion he has heard, have tried to cut back on the time he has to make calls."

He may be one of the few journalists out there that truly understands what kind of election this is becoming:

The last quote in parentheses just cinches the current media environment:

"(If tearing down Obama is the only way he can win--and this should be obvious, but apparently it isn't--McCain doesn't deserve to win.)"

Please Please Please let it be so......

Color me surprised, I didn't see this coming!

Now, I wasn't completely against Bayh in the past, but wow, I'm surprised he went so hard against Joe.

Despite my original article leading to the presumption that Bayh could be the VP.  After reading the article below, I'm not so sure. I'm thinking he could be picking up a VP choice with ties to IN but not necessarily Evan Bayh.  Of course, this is presupposing that Obama is going to pick a VP this week.  But so far the only other person who has ties to IN, again, other than Bayh, is Mark Warner.  Mark Warner was born in the state of IN.

Are there any other VPs out there with those kind of ties?
