Two hours until showtime, and recent developments since DK's last post, which was chock full of recent developments itself:

-The Politico is now reporting that Romney won't, repeat won't be in Dayton today.

So process of elimination time. it's not Pawlenty, and if that ABC report that Palin is still in Alaska is true, then it's not her either, so who's left.

I think we're missing the obvious here: It's Dayton, OH and it's going to be an Ohio guy. Kasich or Portman is what my gut tells me now. They're both here, and all the rest was apparently serious vetting plus some elaborate head fakery.

On Palin, I think it would be a bold gutsy move, but if McCain's major focus is on experience, Palin will undercut it, even though governor trumps senator in presidential politics. Gotta hand it to Team McCain, they sure are generating some buzz.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
