Don't tell anyone . . .
. . . but I'm going out on a limb and predicting Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate. I have no real reason for it except that no one else feels right. All of which presupposes my feelings have anything to do with anything especially considering that I was sure Obama would pick someone unusual. Anyway, that's my bet. But don't tell anyone.
Update - Thursday midday. A friend sent me a note that Intrade, "the political prediction market", says that "While Romney is the most actively traded market in volume terms (2,122 lots traded and price of 45.0), other leading contenders are Pawlenty (494 lots and price of 24.2 ), Tom Ridge (1,153 at 11.5), and Meg Whitman (195 at 8.5)." On the other hand, some wise (or not) guy added a sentence to Pawlenty's Wikipedia saying "On August 29, 2008, Senator John McCain will announce that Pawlenty is to be his Vice Presidential running mate." Update - Thursday night. Sentence about Pawlenty is gone. Palin's page has a notation about no one being allowed to edit it. Hmm. . . .
