Our daily look at stories and topics lighting up the Internets:
Supreme Court, child rape, and the death penalty
The Supreme Court narrowly struck down a law making rape of a child a capital punishment. The red portion of the blogosphere really, really doesn't think the decision was very good. And NRO's Jim Geraghty wants to know...what does Barack think?
Nader-onics
When did Ralph Nader become the cranky arbiter of blackness?
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? Still a possibility, though she says it's the Big O's decision. Meanwhile, Texas Rep. Chet Edwards, who Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi proposed as a veep pick, says he wouldn't say no if asked.
