Day: March 5, 2008

I would be remiss in not pointing out to you that Peter David and Jae Lee are interviewed at ComicMix TV for the midnight launch of Stephen King’sThe Dark Tower at Midtown Comics.

Go. Watch. Enjoy.

MSNBC had a piece today in which they observed that, gee, the current campaign is playing out like the last season of West Wing.

January 30th, guys. I noted on January 30th something MSNBC just now picked up on.

That’s why I’m surprised anyone thought that Clinton would be knocked out in yesterday’s election. To fulfill the West Wing scenario, this is going to have to go all the way to the convention in August, at which point–after much struggle–Obama is made the candidate (although don’t rule out the notion that, after the first ballot is cast, someone else suddenly throws his hat into the ring just to make things REALLY interesting. It could be anyone from Al Gore to John Edwards who, to the best of my knowledge, has yet to endorse either Obama or Clinton.)

At which point Obama will then choose an unexpected political old hand to be his vice presidential candidate.

A word of advice to anyone whom Obama taps for VP–don’t take the offer. Because Obama wins, but only because you die unexpectedly.
