(and who knows if it is or not)

'Twas the night before Veepmas, when through Daily Kos
users were betting who Barack liked the most.

The diaries were screaming "pick this one or that!"
In hopes that Obama soon settles the spat;

These are the early numbers from the WA state primaries.

After the break, I've posted a letter sent from Boyd K. Packer (president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) on July 28th to the California LDS (Mormon) stake (diocese) presidents.

I'll note a couple of items that caught my attention before posting the letter without further comment:

Apparently, there is a plan in place to put up one million 'Yes on 8' yard signs at 7:00 am on September 22nd.

This letter makes clear that those walking their precincts on behalf of the 'Yes on 8' campaign are not doing so to persuade their neighbors, but rather to identify potential 'Yes' votes.  As such, the precinct walking is clearly part of a standard get-out-the-vote operation, rather than an attempt to change hearts and minds.

[PAID FOR BY HILLARY CLINTON'S DEBT]

"Kathleen Sebelius must be stopped! We must NEVER have a female VP, unless it's me!! WAHHH!! WAHHH!!! WAHHH!!!

She is a woman. She is not qualified because her name isn't Hillary Clinton, the only qualified woman in the entire world. WAHHH! WAHHH! WAHHH!

The excitement and anticipation is growing every day. Who will Obama pick for VP?

Every name floated out there gets support from some and opposition from others. So, who do YOU want most? Don't say who you THINK Obama will pick. Who do you want among the named frontrunners and legitimate darkhorses?

There was an Undead Rogue near me one day named "Something". It was quite scary looking at the combat log.

Something has killed Murloc.
Something loots Murloc Scale.
Something's Ambush hits you for 700.
You were killed by Something. (or what ever it says)

I suppose "Someone" would work just as well.

I also saw a NE Priest named "Heal" which I thought was pretty fitting.

A rogue named "You".

How is it that we have not found out through some mistake or loud
mouth who the VP is? How has the Obama campaign been able to keep his choice such a surprise? We have had plenty of "controlled leaks" teasing us but we don't seem to be making any progress in discovering "The TWO". Is this the best kept secret by any campaign ever? Is it possible the VP doesn't know at this late date?

Will this forever change the way we introduce VPs? If for example Senator Clinton was chosen a "long" time ago does this show how easy it is to manipulate us through the media and blogs?

Was there ever a shortlist?

How much misinformation have we received since the "VP search"
started? In my opinion the Obama campaign has been masterful in how they have capitalized on the VP pick.

Are you 100% sure you know who he will pick at this late date?

When we receive the text message stating Senator Clinton or someone out of left field "meaning not on the "shortlist" is THE TWO then I think we will realize Senator Obama and his campaign are very different and that the bar has been raised. Checkmate

BTW in our last contest Jerome received 12% thrashing Biden and a host of others. (More pandering from PoliticalSlave).

Thank you as always for recommending. (more pathetic pandering)

I wrote a diary yesterday explaining why Kaine is a deal-breaker and his ardent supporters asked me to prove that he is pro-life.

So here is (thanks to Sam Stein on Huffington Post) saying that he is no different than Bush on abortion.

He also opposes stem-cell research:

And looks like he is homophobic also:

I am sorry, I dont want a Bush-lite as a Democrat VP nominee.
