Drudge on McCain's running mate:

SOURCE: NAME MAY LEAK AT 6 PM ET... WITH SOME SORT OF CONFIRMATION AT 8 PM... DEVELOPING...

that REALLY makes me think McCain has chosen a WOMAN and wants to stir the Obama/Hillary pot one more time before Obama's speech.

Mittens will be sad.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

youve actually got me thinking it might happen.

I'm just guessing, but with two lear jet flights out of Anchorage (population 300k) to Middletown within 24 hours, both originating out of Seattle (probably the home base of whatever lear jet leasing company was used), with one staying overnight way down in Flagstaff, 30 minutes from where McCain was at the time....

Why would Palin fly to Dayton nearly a week before she is due in Minn at the convention where she was already scheduled to speak?  And why would she or members of her staff stop over in Flagstaff and spend the night?  There is no way Palin is needed in Dayton if she ain't the pick.

I know I am going to look real crazy tomorrow if it ain't her...But, at this point, if Palin isn't the VP pick, then a frog's ass ain't water tight.

Well, on InTrade her bid is 2, her ask is 6.3 and her last is 4.0.

what is more likely:
A) those at InTrade don't know anything because McCain has kept it quiet
or
B) two different sets of VIPs not related to politics used the same lear jet leasing company based in Seattle to fly out of Anchorage to Middletown Ohio, with one making an overnight stop in Flagstaff, within the last 24 hours on a Thursday night and just happened to arrive at the place and time of McCain announcing his VP pick?

Is Palin undervalued? Perhaps.
Is Palin the most likely pick? No.

Lobbynoise?  sounds political, doesn't it?  I wonder if someone associated to the McCain camp is monitoring her wiki page?  Now I'm going too far, that would seem extreme!

From their contribution history, they seem mainly interested in Teaching English as a second language, although they have also edited wiki pages for the King of Thailand and the British intelligence agency.

Palwenty's last trade was at 52.0...wasn't he around 80 earlier in the evening?

Look at the thread I posted, they're all haywire.

that's pretty impressive.  what do you think? think Lobbynoise is connected with McCain?

No evidence either way.

I wonder who Lobbynoise is.
