Get a Room Already

Another day, another pack of rumors and fawning speculations about the Obamassiah and Birch’s Boy.

Even Bayh himself has started to pour cold water on the whole thing.

And for good reason.

There won’t be a vice presidential pick today, so the Obasm-giddy chattering classes will face an inevitable let-down. Better to minimize that as much as possible, if you’re a VP hopeful and don’t want to lose the expectations game, right?

Let me stick my neck out, as the proverbial saying goes, and predict that Evan Bayh will not be announced as Barack Obama’s running mate on today.

Because Michelle Obama–who is doubtless to be present at any vice presidential announcement, along with the spouse of the vice president–has a full schedule in Virginia tomorrow (here and here).

The Obamassiah simply is not going to announce his running mate without his marital mate with him when it happens. It’s not done.

Certainly, such simple facts should have more to say about what actually happens tomorrow in Elkhart than wheel-up times, potential motorcade routes, or how event times impact the West Coast.
