So, how many houses will the Democratic VP pick have?
Does Obama announce his pick today or let the eight house story run as far as it can?
UPDATE:
Note to blogosphere: mentioning that John McCain spends over a quarter of a million dollars a year on household staff is class warfare and not allowed. Calling Obama an "arugula-eating, pointy headed professor-type," however, is to be encouraged.
UPDATE II:
Word is going around that Bruce Springsteen will be performing on Saturday before Obama accepts the nomination. That means Bill Clinton speaks on Wednesday, Bruce Springsteen plays on Thursday. Any bets on which will be longer: Clinton's speech or Springsteen's set?
