Blog Buzz: Conservatives Dislike Child Rape and Nader Dislikes Obama

Our daily look at stories and topics lighting up the Internets:

Veepstakes

WashMo's Kevin Drum wants to know if there's any possible Obama running mate who hasn't already been dismantled by the blog storm. If we're to the point of recycling, then...Obama-Clinton?
