Along with news that Condi is now emerging as the frontrunner for the Vice Presidential nomination, the Romney campaign dropped this bombshell on us:

"The news came as the Romney campaign confirmed for the first time that a choice would be made before the Republican National Convention."

Oh, wow. Maybe this is being done because the running mate would have to be nominated...?

The New York Times reports that friends of Romney claim he has decided on a running mate and may announce his choice this week.

The 10th? Wouldn't it be the 9th? A Thursday is a far better day to make news than a Friday and it allows the running mate to get three full bus tour days.

Oh, no, no. I wasn't implying that. This was just the first place I saw the speaker announcement and was voicing my frustration.

By the way, I'm not even rooting for Rick to be the (total surprise) pick. I'm not rooting for anyone actually.

All this talk about waiting until Ann returns from London...could we be missing the most obvious hint of all? Romney - Rafalca 2012?

Mittens will be close to deranged if he does not pick Portman. Is he?

Deranged? No offense to Portman but why would this guy appear to be a Messianic figure?

It's not that Portman is a Messianic figure; it's that he's so obviously a better choice than Ryan or Pawlenty.

I don't think he's "obviously better" than Pawlenty in the "boring white guy" test but point taken.

August 15th is for the Italy-England Friendly and nothing else. He better not announce that day.

Also, I heard rumblings today that Christie is emerging as a contender again. Any truth to it? I personally doubt it but a source of mine in NJ said he's hearing some things.

Oh, great. Even worse: he's announcing during Supercoppa Italiana. Damn it, Mitt.
