      Romney Gains Ground in Veepstakes

      (Newser) - Mitt Romney’s business acumen, national profile, and fundraising chops have put him among the elite of VP hopefuls, Reuters reports. And while he and John McCain exchanged nasty barbs during the primaries, the mutual resentment seems to have subsided, at least on the surface. "Mitt and Ann Romney and Cindy and I have become good friends," said McCain. Besides, a little animosity "never stops anyone from joining into an alliance if they can win," said one analyst. More »

      Hillary Still in Veepstakes, Obama Says

      (Newser) - Barack Obama told a donor this week that he may still invite Hillary Clinton on the ticket, but worries husband Bill might crowd the White House. "He said once you're a president, even if you're a former president, you're always a president," the donor told the Los Angeles Times . She said she pressed Obama because she believes the media and the Democratic Party have treated Clinton unfairly. More »

      VP Hopefuls Shift Positions, Hairdos

      (Newser) - Recipients of the VP vetting process are shifting their positions (and their stylists), Politico reports. Here are some examples: Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has ditched a less-than-leaderly mullet, opting instead for a short hairstyle. Florida's Charlie Crist has spun 180 degrees into the offshore drilling camp, matching John McCain’s switch; he also got engaged, ending a storied bachelorhood. More »

      On Running Mate, Obama Can Jog, Mac Should Sprint

      (Newser) - Timing the unveiling of one's running mate is a crucial publicity challenge, David Von Drehle writes in Time —and John McCain would be best served by playing his card soon, while Barack Obama should keep his ace up his sleeve. Obama could run into trouble from rabid Hillary Clinton fans at the Democratic convention, and might need “to hold a headline in reserve." More »

      Ex-HP Chief a Risky VP Choice

      (Newser) - Carly Fiorina sparked stunned silence when talking over breakfast yesterday about the unfairness of health insurance plans that cover Viagra, but not birth control. “These women would like a choice,” she said, despite the fact that her nominee, John McCain, voted against a proposal to mandate coverage.

      Obama-Biden Could Be the Ticket

      (Newser) - Joe Biden, the Delaware senator who sputtered out of the primaries in Iowa, may be the ideal VP for Barack Obama, writes Walter Shapiro in Slate . The 65-year-old chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee has international policy cred, a son heading to Iraq, a pull with Catholic voters, a "just-plain-Joe political style," and a compelling personal story—his wife and daughter died in a car crash in 1972.
