I agree with Sonoazure that Obama will pick Evan Bayh and McCain will pick Mitt Romney. So since someone beat me to the punch, I don't mind paying for a shirt. I'd love to have one.

@chatterboxpr and everyone else, it's ok if someone else chooses the same thing. If you pick any 1 of the Veeps correctly, we'll send you a shirt. We'll send you 2 if you want if you pick both.

I think Obama should pick Mark Warner, the former governor of Virginia. I'm guessing McCain will stay away from Romney and Huckabee. Colin Powell would be my guess. He centers the ticket for McCain who is seen as leaning too far Right.

I know I'm going to be off...but I say McCain will pick Romney, and Obama will choose Bill Richardson.

Obama will pick Evan Bayh, Bayh has the charm of Edwards without the scandal. McCain should pick Olympia Snow (Sen.- Maine) but he'll probably go with Charlie Crist.

Testing out Yahoo Buzz on this one. http://buzz.yahoo.com/article/1:1bcd2fa370e3fc03a5166c6310d849ad:5f7777215db037313bd1785bcb0b9c73?usc=1

I played around with yahoo buzz also, just for a few minutes. The articles listed where very mainstream. It could be a great way of bring attention to socialmedian, by places the days top clips on the buzz, courtesy of Socialmedian. It is open now?

Michaelfidler,

I just saw what you did, Votes on their way!

Jasongoldberg,

Aug 19, 2008

We'll see. I'm not convinced that Buzz is yet a place where any story can gain attention. It still is edited by Yahoo editors.

Michaelfidler,

I agree, so put it to the test today and see how votes you can get there. Since they just opened it, I doubt they want any negative criticism. Even if they tighten it up in a few weeks, its great publicity for Socialmedian now.Definitely worth a test.
