Bouncer's after the convention, and VP Prediction

Rather interesting article and analyses on the bounce in poll numbers after each convention. The significance of the bounce should be compared to the historical – see excellent article by Larry Sabato, Director Univ of Virginia, Center for Politics (http://tinyurl.com/6y8vma)
And, you heard it here first. If numbers and trends are accurate per Google’s Zeit Geist, then my prediction is that Tim Kaine is going to the be VP candidate for Obama.

Any comments on how that will affect the general bounce that Obama desperately needs and whether it will neutralize the cats from Hilary’s den?

I'd like to understand the reasoning behind your prediction. It's not just the search trends, is it? I've heard about Obama and his Blackberry, but I don't think he's that much of an egghead :-)

I think of Kaine as a safe but boring choice. I don't know much about his track record or his history, but is either so compelling as to create a bounce?

Completely based on the number of searches. Though, based on tonight's Lehrer News Hour it looks like Joe Biden is the VP. I like the way the Obama team has been building the suspense to get air time.
