    Poli-Sci: Biden picks Kamala Harris

    Might as well get this started...my bet is they are staging the announcement for Saturday 8/1 so as to dominate the news cycle for Sunday talk shows 8/2, and the week to follow.

    I would also surmise it might be coupled with a new major thrusting "reimagining the Police" initiative, led by our VP candidate, the respected Sen. Harris of California. She may be joined in this new Progressive effort by Rep. O'Rourke, who will be in charge of gun confiscation sensible gun laws.

    ...and...here...we...go...

    Rich you suck! Way to ruin my anticipation of the weekend.

    I sure hope not, but I fear this might be the case.

    I would be surprised if the announcement comes on a Saturday or on anytime before or on 01-AUG. I expect the pick will be on a weekday before the stock market opens, and the campaign stated the pick announcement would be pushed out to August, no later than 15-AUG.

    I thought they always liked Friday's for this type of thing as it gives them the entire weekend of being Front Page News

    I concur re announcing on Sat to dominate the Sun show cycle. I concur re Harris being the pick.

    VP Pence was announced as the VP nominee on a Thursday; Sarah Plain was announced at the VP nominee on a Friday morning. It used to be that bad news was dumped on Friday afternoon after 5:00 PM as most people were more interested in weekend plans.

    I assume the Sunday news shows are booked by Saturday, which is another reason I expect the announcement on a weekday.
