A friend emailed yesterday something I've been thinking for a while now. Far more suspense has been built up around Obama's veep choice than is merited by the possible selections of Joe Biden, Evan Bayh or Tim Kaine. Call it yet another mistake of the disastrous last two weeks -- they've let too much tension build.
Reader Wikipedia, in a comment to my post yesterday speculating that maybe Hillary was going to be the choice after all, offered an intriguing thought: What if Obama is set to announce more than his veep? What if he's going to announce, say, a couple of major Cabinet appointments in addition to his vice president?
I loooove this idea. Especially if it includes (are you there God? It's me, Tomasky) Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense.
This would be: unprecedented, creative, game-changing...all those things and 10 more things like them. It's probably not in the cards I guess, but Wik, hats off. Well played indeed.
