Breaking: Obama's First Choice for Veep is John Kerry
I've got this straight from David Plouffe, Barack Obama's campaign manager.
Ok, I got it straight from Plouffe--via three intermediaries. You know, kind of like that scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off--"My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."
But Obama's number one pick for Veep as of today is (drum roll please!)
Sen. John Kerry!
Huh?
Yup the guy who ran for President from my party--and lost--four years ago. And his goofy wife Teresa Heinz.
And who else is on The List?
In no particular order, Gov. Tim Kaine (unacceptable), Sen. Joe Biden (acceptable) and Sen. Evan Bayh (who?).
No woman. No Hillary. No general. No decent governor like Kathleen Sebelius, Bill Richardson, Mark Warner, or Brian Schweitzer.
Let's hope my best friend's sister's boyfriend has it wrong.
Why, Obama, why have you become such a dork since the primaries?

I would like to share a women's history learning opportunity.
Thanks to the suffragettes, women have voices and choices.
But most people are totally in the dark about HOW the suffragettes won.
Now readers can discover the shocking truth of how the suffragettes did it, and it's as easy as opening their e-mail.
"The Privilege of Voting" is a new e-mail series that follows eight great women from 1912 - 1920 to reveal ALL that happened to set the stage for women to win the vote.
Two beautiful and extremely powerful suffragettes -- Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst are featured, along with Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan, Alice Roosevelt and two gorgeous presidential mistresses.
There are tons of heartache for our heroines on the rocky road to the ballot box - but in the end - they WIN!
Presented in a unique sequential e-mail series -- each inspiring episode is about 10 minutes -- perfect to enjoy during coffeebreaks, or anytime.
