Some of the people I work with are fairly well connected with the democratic party. They just attended some sort of political function where at least one of them got the feeling that if Obama finally gets the nod, he may tap the other Illinois Senator Dick Durbin for VP. Interesting, but unlikely. An all Illinois ticket. I know they are pretty close and all, but it doesn't seem to be politically smart to have two people on the same ticket from the same state. Another name that is much more likely is Bill Richardson (whom I've met). So really there's not much to the story, but it is interesting to see who the VP nominees will be. No idea on McCain.
Also, I've been listening to Baltimore by Stephen Malkmus (former lead singer of Pavement) recently. It's on his new album Real Emotional Trash. Check it.

Yeah, it's going to be an interesting ticket, that's for sure. I don't think that an Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama ticket would work for either candidate. In my opinion both are strong candidates but it might be a power struggle if both were on the ticket. I would like to see Bill Richardson as the VP choice. An African-American and Mexican-American on the ticket. It would reflect the cultural diversity of the United States today. Can you imagine Cinco de Mayo at the White House? Tamales and pinatas. VIVA LA RAZA!
