Obama’s made a decision on a running mate, but is refusing to reveal who it is. He wants somebody who is “prepared to be president”, “a partner with me in strengthening this economy for the middle class and working families”, and “not just a partner but a sparring partner… somebody who can push against my preconceived notions and challenge me so we have got a robust debate in the White House”.
That sounds an awful lot like Hillary!
I may have to recant on my earlier suggestion that this was a bad idea. On the other hand maybe I’m overanalysing his choice of words, but the language doesn’t suggest he’s gone with some bland whitebread male type person.

Hmm yeah.
I first heard via Seven News and they gave a generous ten seconds to the entire affair. Such is the news coverage of the commercial television networks in Australia.
