Beware of Running Mate Rumors

| | Comments (0)

In the next few weeks, we'll hear reports that Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain are considering this politician or that one for a chance at being their running mate. We'll cover the rumors in detail on Political Wire.

However, if past history is any guide, many of the names "leaked" were done so intentionally -- in most cases to enhance the stature of a key supporter. It doesn't necessarily mean they're seriously being considered.

As First Read notes, "there are a couple of short lists, the actual one and the one for public consumption, so Obama and McCain can politically pay back a supporter or two."
