Sebelius, Kaine, Bayh, Biden -- take your pick of the apparent finalists.

Biden is the best.

So this is Russert's last interview? Who is the last person he names?

Joe Biden.

Prof. Althouse: "I almost want Barack Obama to pick Joe Biden [as VP]... and John McCain to pick Lindsey Graham... as a tribute to our great journalist Tim."

So, Obama listens to Prof. Althouse's almost impassioned plea while McCain ignores her request. Is that enough to tip the scales of neutrality?
