Buying a ticket for the VP sweepstakes
For several weeks, I have marveled at the daily media speculation over the running mates of Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain. Why waste so much time and manpower on a guessing game that would become news eventually anyway? Particularly, when the guessing game so often turns out wrong?
Juan Antonio Giner tracks the speculation and false reports, with Drudge reporting Obama-Bayh, the Wall Street Journal reporting that it's Tim Kaine, Warren Buffett picking Sam Nunn, and the Chicago Tribune and David Brooks getting it right.
As a bonus, he includes a front page for Hillary lovers.
Until yesterday, all the speculation was a non-story. So why spend all that energy chasing it?

I think the point was to get all those text addressess. They can use those to send messages during the rest of the campaign and especially the day before and the day of the election to remind everyone to vote.
