Here we are, only a few months away from the election. It looks like Obama's trip to the Middle East and Europe has been a big success. He has looked confident and in charge while meeting with heads of state from other countries, and with our troops in Iraq and Afganistan.
McCain and his people have been reduced to whining about the press coverage and how Obama seems to be acting like he's already President. Yet, the polls are relatively close. How can that be?
The media is speculating that McCain will pick Tim Pawlenty, the Governor of Minnesota as his VP, but I think he's really too much of a no-name. He has to pick a younger person - that won't be hard. I also think he'll make his choice soon to try and regain the media spotlight that Obama has been in lately. The best choice would be Mitt Romney, but a Mormon might be the final straw for the Southern Christian conservatives.
On the other hand Obama is under less pressure because he is doing so well. He doesn't need a big name. I was hoping Jim Webb, the Senator from Virginia, would take the job, but it doesn't look that way. He might go for Senator Chris Dodd from Connecticut because of his foriegn policy experience.
We still have a lot of politics ahead of us; VP picks, conventions, debates. Good stuff for us political junkies.
