Predictions
1. Barack Obama will not announce his VP pick until either the weekend before the convention, or during the convention itself.
2. This will be viewed as a brilliant move politically, because it adds suspense to the convention and provides for lots of Obama/VP news stories in the following week as they begin touring the country together. This will help Obama stay in the news while the Republicans are having their convention.
3. McCain will panic and make his VP pick the day after Obama's convention speech. It will be a Friday in August and won't provide McCain with the attention/bounce he is looking for.
4. McCain will not put enough thought into the VP pick, so while he is in panic mode Steve Schmidt will convince him to select Romney.
5. If McCain loses the election, Republicans will wonder why he didn't pick Romney in early August and at least take advantage of his fundraising abilities when it could have made a difference.
These are predictions pulled off the top of my head, so chances are most of them will be wrong.
