- Well, there’s not much happening on the Democratic side of things (in keeping with the LRs longstanding observation that nothing happens on the day before a vote), so why not speculate about John McCain’s VP pick? Sure, it won’t actually come for another month or two at the very least, but hey, why not have some fun? The Weekly Standard considers some orthodox conservatives, Marc Ambinder lists a more varied group of possibilities, Mike Boyer argues for Newt, and McCain offers some predictably vague thoughts. The most intriguing and scary possibility? Bobby Jindal.
- Karl Rove maxes out to McCain while Mike Huckabee picks up James Dobson.
- Here’s a good roundup of the primaries and caucuses this weekend.
- David Frum sees very good things in the Democrats’ future (and he’s a man who knows which way the wind is blowing).
- The sexist attack of the day comes from a commentator on MSNBC who made some offensive remarks about Chelsea Clinton and apologized terribly (It’s really not that hard people). If there’s a job opening soon, I nominate Ezra. This should also be an opportunity to recall that McCain said something far, far worse about her a decade ago.
- A mild-mannered law professor is accidentally drafted into being a precinct captain for Obama and hilarity ensues.
- Finally, Christopher Orr explains why Mitt Romney is like Superman (and why that’s bad), the Obama girl didn’t bother to actually vote for him, and Hillary Clinton critiques her past outfits in US Weekly. She should have outsourced the to jokes Amelie Gillette though.
