Obama/... DODD?
Clearly, I am in some sort of benevolent version of the Truman Show.

Obama seeks info on Dodd in vice president search
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 57 minutes agoWASHINGTON - Barack Obama's presidential campaign has requested information from Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd as part of its search for a possible vice presidential candidate.
The former White House hopeful and Connecticut lawmaker indicated Wednesday that he has been approached by the campaign. "There's been some inquiries, yeah," Dodd said. "They ask for a lot of stuff. I'll leave it there."
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton and Dodd's Senate office declined comment Thursday.
Probably wise of both. Free hint to the Obama campaign: when the AP, on looking over a potential VP candidate's recent history, decides to go with the "may be implicated in mortgage kickback scandal" bit over the "sorta-kinda fought to derail the FISA bill" bit... yeah, maybe this was a bit of a time-waster for you. But don't let me stop you from picking the man. All I ask is that you wait for my air-popper to finish the latest bowl of popcorn.
Because you can't put BACON SALT* on microwave popcorn, of course.

*It's even kosher! No, really.

I don't remember many Democrats coming to Dodd's defense when his deal made the news.
I also don't remember a running mate ever being chosen from the near-bottom of the primary race results. Maybe Gravel should have stayed in the party.
They must think we'll chase any trial balloon for as far as it'll go.
You need to trademark that one.
McCain for POTUS so the left can't ruin SCOTUS.
Obama's top choices:
10) Edwards
9) Reed
8) Bayh
7) HRC
6) Gore
5) Nunn
4) Dodd
3) Napalitano
2) Sebelius
1) Kaine
Dodd seems to love the spotlight more then anything. He'll give us daily press conferences now to inform us of every piece of paper he gives Obama.
