Blog Buzz: Race to Be McCain's or Obama's Vice President Edition
Our daily look at stories and topics lighting up the Internets:
Veepstakes: Palin, Biden, and Clinton, oh my!
Marc Ambinder sums things up processwise. Ed Morrissey at Hot Air likes Sarah Palin. And there's little liberal sympathy for John McCain's limited VP choices. Barack Obama-Joe Biden? Talkin' Joe would go for it. McCain-Tim Pawlenty? Yglesias says it sounds solid. Mike Bonnifer, a Huffington Post blogger, thinks Obama-Hillary Clinton is the ticket. Meanwhile, Will Bower, a spokesman for P.U.M.A. (which stands for "party unity my ass") says in an interview with the Huffington Post's John Tomasic that many Clinton supporters would rather see a McCain-Clinton ticket. Will Bunch on Attytood wouldn't be surprised if Obama gave "recycled inside-the-Beltway center-rich hack" Sam Nunn the nod.

Race to Be McCain's or Obama's Vice President Edition
Hillary Clinton or John Edwards would be the only reason I would vote for Obama. I cannot believe that we as democrats have nominated him as our choice for President, but since we have, we need to have a real person as our choice for Vice-President. Obama is not a real person, he is a people snob. Edwards is a real person. Clinton could be a real person if she wanted to. If we really face it, Obama is not in touch with the people of this country and their needs.
