And speaking of that Obama VP selection, today’s favorite seems to be Delaware Sen. Joe Biden.

CNN’s Political Ticker Source why Biden is going to be a busy guy when we returns to Capitol Hill from Georgia and the ongoing showdown with Russia there.

That trip—and the haste with which it was arranged—is what’s got the insiders buzzing. CNN says that it was “at the behest of that country’s president” that Biden went to Georgia, and:

If Biden does aspire to be on the Democratic presidential ticket, the trip couldn’t have come at a better time — reinforcing his lengthy resume on matters of foreign policy and reminding voters, and Obama, he is well respected by foreign leaders half a world away.

The trip also comes days before Obama is expected to reveal his VP choice — with only days remaining until the Democratic convention, the choice is expected to come this week.

So, I’m confused ... Did Biden make the trip at Georgia’s president’s request, or did Biden go because he needed to be fresh off a foreign trip when he’s announced as Obama’s VP?

What if Mikhail Saakashvili had summoned Bill Richardson? Or Hillary Clinton? Would their stocks be up similarly up this morning?

“The Illinois senator, so the Beltway chatter goes, needs a running-mate with foreign policy experience now more than ever,” CNN says.

I agree. I just think he’s barking up the wrong tree with Biden.
