That the McCain Camp is using coded language about Obama in the long tradition of repubs using coded language to demonize black people and fire up their low-information voters: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfXvK84MPqQ[/youtube]…

The Next Vice President of the United States.

Barack Obama’s announcement of his VP choice could come any day now.  With the Olympics starting on Friday, and ending the weekend before the start of the Democratic convention, this coming week seems like an opitune time for him to announce.  Further, it would end John McCain’s silly tantums, at least in the press’s eyes, as they will have something new to report on.

So who will it be?

The press has been talking up the following names:

Evan Bayh, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Hagel, Wesley Clark, Tim Kaine, Sam Nunn, Ed Rendell, Bill Richardson, Kathleen Sebelius, Jack Reed, Chris Dodd

The political prediction markets and buzz have four candidates on the short short list: Evan Bayh, Tim Kaine, Joe Biden and Kathleen Sebelius.

Those is what the conventional wisdom says, but I think it is wrong.
