It’s done — Obama will pick Bayh

Put a fork in it — it is done.  Obama-Bayh will be the ticket.  Well, I don’t like it at all.  Bayh is ok but Obama should have picked Hillary.  Why?  Because the primary was nearly tied and the voters picked Clinton as the VP.   Obama should have offered it to her immediately and let her decide whether she wanted it.  Instead, there is unending drama over this issue as McCain continues to improve in the polls.  Hillary tried to explain in the primary that Obama wasn’t ready for the attacks the Republicans would make.  Pretty clear now that she was right.  Meanwhile, Edwards little news about baby mama that if disclosed prior to Iowa may have changed the nomination in a significant way.  Well, Obama can still be elected but given that this should have been a landslide year for Democrats, it is disheartening that some old war mongering fart like McCain can still be in this and could even win.  I guess the old joke is right — Democrats will always fail they just never know how they will do it.
