name your running mate, already

Anyone else anxious for the announcements of running mates? If Hillary is losing momentum, as the media says almost by the minute, it seems like that could help her. Over at Compassion in Politics, they think Edwards will endorse Obama by the end of the month. I kind of think he’s waiting until someone asks him to be a running mate.

Speaking of endorsements, the New York Times has a cool endorsements page here. Not their own endorsements, but who is endorsing who.

McCain has got it all sewn up, so now the Dems just have to fight out the rest of the primaries. There’s been some speculation about superdelegates swooping in at the National Convention and offering up a new name.

Honestly, after I sent in my absentee ballot on Feb. 1st, I kind of lost interest because what can I do until the general election? Is this the apathy that I normally detest? Or reasonable rest before the next big race that I can be involved in?

In other news, my Congressman Darrell Issa was on Bill Maher the other night, and true to form, he sounded like a party-line fool. I wish we could get him some serious opposition in my district!
