Hillary is looking Good

I don't know that I'm prepared to say Obama's VP will be Hillary.

But at this point, I'm prepared to say that's his best option.

Is all contrary evidence just a massive headfake?

Joe Biden's mouth is a constant source of embarassment. And how would the PUMAs take to a failed second-tier candidate leapfrogging someone with 18 million votes?

Evan Bayh has been vetoed by the netroots

Kathleen Sebelius would be a clear and direct affront to the PUMAs, much more so even than Biden. The first woman VP/President -- and one you've never heard of -- would increase the sense of Clintonian alienation.

Tim Kaine. Hahahahahahahahahaha

Wesley Clark would provide the military experience Obama needs, but his comments about McCain's service are a problem

Chris Dodd is a crook

No mention of Mark Warner, who might be dragged out of his Senate race to help win the presidency on the strength of Virginia. Still, the analysis is pretty strong that it's not any of the current people we think it could be.

Hillary then, by process of elimination.
