I understand why the Obama campaign is dragging out the announcement of his running mate. One need only look at the volume of press and pundit coverage to know that just by keeping it secret he's getting a lot of free exposure.

But here's where it's probably going to backfire.

I'm not sure there is a person on the planet who can live up to the expectation. When the name is finally revealed, apparently sometime tomorrow morning, it will be an anti-climax the likes of which we haven't seen since Heraldo pried open Capone's Vault.
