Veep Speculation At Fever Pitch (again)

Speculation about who will be Obama's choice for VP is reaching a a new level of frenzy again, fueled by his campaign schedule over the next two days.

It seems that Senator Obama will be campaigning with Evan Bayh (D-IN) tomorrow in Elkhart, IN.  The press have been told that the Obama entourage will remain in Indiana until Wednesday evening, although there are no official campaign events (yet) scheduled for Wednesday. Naturally, this has led to much musing on various blogs (and among the chattering classes on cable TV) that Obama will announce Bayh as his Vice-Presidential choice tomorrow in Bayh's home state. We shall see.

I've noted here several times that I think Bayh is an unlikely choice since the Senate Democrats would lose a seat if the Obama-Bayh ticket wins.  (Indiana's Governor Daniels is a Republican who would surely appoint a fellow Republican to fill Bayh's seat.)

Just in case, I like my crow with salt and pepper.
