And also, Obama plans to unveil his pick in Springfield on Saturday on the state Capitol steps where he first began his improbable campaign. Springfield, of course, invokes memories of Abraham Lincoln - and thanks to Doris Kearns Goodwin's popular book, Lincoln is now famously known as someone who brought his harshest rivals into his cabinet - following the maxim "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". (BTW, that quote has been attributed to Sun Tzu - author of The Art of War - and to Niccolo Machiavelli, but apparently there is no definitive source for that quote before its appearance in The Godfather Part II as spoken by Michael Corleone...go figure.)
So if it's not Biden, as I (sort of) predicted before, it's going to be Hillary. That would definitely be a newsworthy event. Stay tuned...
