1. Virginia Governor Tim Kaine told the Washington Post that he’s had “very serious conversations with Obama” regarding the vice presidency.

On Fox News Sunday, The Weekly Standard’s William Kristol said he thinks Obama’s already decided on Kaine, adding that “there will be a secret meeting” with him on Tuesday.

He added further speculation that Obama would likely head to Richmond August 4th to make his announcement.

Howard Wilson, Clinton’s former communications director, told Fox News Hillary is NOT being vetted for the #2 spot.

Although, he quickly adds, “Hillary Clinton has been vetted during the last 18 months.” He also added that she would say “Yes” to a spot on the ticket.

Obama traveled with Clinton and his Veep Vetter Caroline Kennedy to a NY fundraiser Wednesday night and another today.

Perhaps Caroline’s taking notes?

A certain Kansas Governor/Veep candidate…

He was quoted yesterday…

“I love Kathleen Sebelius.

I think she is as talented a public official as there is right now. Integrity. Competence. She can work with all people of all walks of life, but I promised that I am not going to say anything about my vice president until I actually introduce my vice president.”

Well how about that!

I wrote about just this topic a couple days ago when I noticed Sebelius gave an interview and the backdrop behind her was San Francisco.

“What could she be doing there?” I asked myself.

On the very top of the list at this point? Jim Webb, Ted Strickland, Kathleen Sebelius, Claire McCaskill.

All solid, moderate democrats from swing states.

But you want to know who’d be the boldest pick?

Chuck Hagel. That would literally shatter the partisan divide in one fell swoop. The only issue there is that Hagel would have to promise to govern in a bi-partisan, left-leaning fashion if anything ever happened to Obama.

And how likely would that be?
