Veep Stakes (or Steaks?)

Let's be brave and bet lunch. It's about time we were held responsible for our guesses. We brag when right and hide when wrong. Time to go out on a two limbs--one which will be sawed off by the time this goes to press.

Biden bloviates and has plagiarism scandal in past. Bayh is bland, boring and young. Kaine has no foreign policy experience, and General Clark has hoof in mouth disease.
Obama picks Chris Dodd! Dodd brings grey hair, experience, gravitas and humor. He follows the first law of Veeps: Do no harm.

McCain can't go pro-choice with Ridge or Lieberman. Jindal takes the youth and inexperience charge off the table. He hates Romney. Picks Pawlenty. Doesn't annoy right or terrify middle. Safe.
