Obama/Bayh v McCain/Romney
Bill Browning predicted yesterday that Barack Obama will announce his VP choice on Wednesday. It will be, according to Browning, Evan Bayh.
Browning makes a good argument why Bayh will be chosen on Wednesday.

If Browning's prediction is true, then I predict that McCain will announce his VP choice on Thursday.
It will be Mitt Romney.
Here's my reasoning:
1. McCain has been paranoid about any media attention that Obama receives, thus not to be outdone he will once again follow Obama's lead.
2. McCain and his campaign have decided that their only winning strategy is to go negative. Surprisingly, some republicans have shown that they don't have the stomach to follow on McCain's bogus attacks on Obama. Romney on the other hand has shown to have no problem with following this line of attack, as he lacks any amount of character.
I predict that Browning is wrong and that Obama will ultimately select a running mate that has been off the chattering class radar.

....don't be surprised if Obama doesn't announce his selection until the eve of the Democratic Convention - may be V.P. hopeful Sen/Gov Evan Bayh will magically appear from door number.......hmmm?
Preview here, the Democratic National Convention, located at the Invesco Field, Denver Colorado:

Regardless of when Obama announces his VP, McCain will name his VP the day after the Dem convention, to stem that coverage tide.
