And just as I was posting that...

... AP updated their story to add that Bayh has been eliminated.

OK, so it's Biden, barring some huge surprise.

Well, good for him. It's going to be a fun eight years with him in the mix. And productive, too, I think. He wasn't in my original top 3, but then I hadn't realized he was still in contention, so my bad. Maybe I'll have better luck with the McCain pick. But games aside, I think he's a good choice. And as far as the verbosity issue, I guess the low-key profile he's been keeping lately was a sort of probation period to see if he could do it, and he passed the test.

Well, now I can sleep in a bit.
