Bayh's the One [per a unintended leak it seems, unless it's fake]

[Eraserhead]

Thank Jeebus this seems to be fake. I'd gladly take Kaine or even Biden over this assclown.

[Mr. Morden]

over the last week ive had a hunch it was going to be bayh.  i still feel that way.  it is just a hunch.  obviously i dont know.

of the 3 'finalists'. im hoping it is kaine.

I thought you didn't like Kaine. Or was that Webb? I remember you saying if one of the Virginians were on the ticket you'd never vote for it.

Anyway, please for the love of God of Obama, if you want the progressives and Hispanics to be enthusiastic about you AT ALL, don't pick that idiot. It's not worth the possibility of 11 electoral votes.

What's wrong with Kaine? Beats the hell out of Bayh.

I think he was talking about Bayh.  Note the bolded part, and the respective number of electoral votes for Indiana and Virginia.

- The guy forgot to edit Story Highlights
- CNN can't spell "anticipated"
- ...well, they can, but only the first time they used it in the same sentence.
- "it's mailing list"
- CNN just can't write in general, apparently; this sounds nothing like one of their articles
- As mentioned above, ridiculous over-details ("21-year-old intern"); if this was real, it would be "CNN has learned from an anonymous source" or something.

I can't believe this is being taken semi-seriously.

Ah yes.  Better articulated right there.  I still have a slight plurality of my imaginary bucks bet on Bayh, but there are so many logical errors committed in this + the complete absence of this article's existence on the internet.

Oh please...every VP candidate is going to piss off some group of people. Biden will piss of people because he's a gaffe machine. Bayh will piss off people because he's conservative. Kaine will piss off poeple because he adds nothing to the ticket. Sebelius will piss off people because she adds no foreign policy and picking a woman not named Clinton could start considerable media drama.

He can't make the right choice with everyone. But one thing you'll have to remember is that it's the freaking VP. Vice President's don't do anything. They go visit countries and foreign leaders until their time comes to run. So any liberal or progressive who suffered through 8 years of Bush and is now going to refuse to vote for Obama because of a running mate...than you don't deserve to EVER have a Democratic president because you're too stubborn to realize what you're doing.

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

It's an election with one voter.  Until that voter actually casts his ballot, all these "leaks" are utterly meaningless.

[minionofmidas]

"Leaks" can also be used to rule out a candidate.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I'm betting this story about Bayh's wife came in a roundabout way from the Obama Camp.

Eh, she would probably step down from those boards during the campaign.
