Hillary Clinton has to announce very soon - because the Democratic convention is NEXT WEEK - who her Vice Presidential pick is going to be.
She's scheduled to be in Tampa THIS AFTERNOON at 4:30 PM. At the Florida State Fairgrounds.
She's expected to announce who her running mate is going to be at the event.
OH MAN THAT IS LIKE RIGHT DOWN THE INTERSTATE FROM ME.
Pity I got to work until 5 PM.
Thing is, you usually make the announcement in the Veep pick's back yard for the locals to hoot and cheer 'em on.
The buzz about it being someone from the area - Crist? - is big.
I doubt it's Crist, though. He's honestly not as popular among Florida Democrats as he ought to be (his tenure as an ex-Republican is gonna hurt him). He's doing far better running for the revamped Congressional district covering St. Pete, his stomping ground.
I'm wondering if it's Kathy Castor... or someone else from Florida like Senator Bill Nelson (GO GATORS).
We'll find out today.
Update: well, dammit. Because of the mass shooting in Munich - dammit NRA, stop exporting this sh-t - Hillary held off making an official announcement at the speech. She announced via email afterward... and... it's Kaine.
(tries to find appropriate WWE entrance music)
YouTube's not giving me a lot of options here...
Update Revision: Betty Cracker from Balloon Juice was at the Tampa rally. I envy her. She's got pics, real good ones close to the stage.
