LIGHTNING ROUND: OBAMA-CLEESE 08!
- Marc Ambinder names his picks for the top five most likely VPs for McCain and Obama. The McCain list is kinda boring (sample description, “nice man; solid tenure as government official”) while Obama one is more interesting (Hagel and Napolitano!).
- Ambinder also lists some reasons Pennsylvania is tightening.
- Taegan Goddard and Ben Smith (separately) on why Obama shouldn’t use the public financing system for the general election.
- Apparently the McCain camp has switched from hallucinogens to downers, as this fantastically boring web ad shows. I defy you to watch it and then tell me what it’s about. I still don’t know. The best part? It’s actually an ad for someone named Johm McCain according to the end credits.
- Barack Obama, huge in China (less surprisingly, in Canada as well).
- The Center for Public Integrity posts two videos of Clinton speaking on behalf of Wal-Mart when she was on its board.
- Noam Scheiber argues that the only effect Penn’s departure will have on the race is protecting Obama from attack and thereby strengthening him in the general election.
- John Cleese: potential Obama speech writer. Yes.

I mentioned/suggested Hagel in a DKos thread some weeks ago. It was not favorably received. I think it has huge merits as far as vote getting, but, as was pointed out to me, the fact that he'd be the Prez in the case of catastrophe, and that he's really, really socially conservative, well - are you just supposed to be more positive thinking than that? I don't think so.
Obama/Wyden!
(And if he was VP
