Evan Bayh Predicts Evan Bayh Will Not Be Named VP Today!

Wow! It is an important day in history. You probably should mark this down on your calendars, because you’re unlikely to see something of this monumental import happen again anytime soon. Hang the flags at half-mast and practice the speech you’ll be telling your grandkids.
Get this: the Huffington Post — which predicted that Barack Obama would announce Evan Bayh as his running mate today — got something wrong…
In an interview with Mary Beth Schneider of the Indianapolis Star today (hat tip to our Swamp buddy John McCormick), Bayh claimed to have “no idea” what Obama’s VP timeline is and added:
“I’m absolutely confident there will be no announcement tomorrow. I guess the best way to put it is, if there’s an announcement tomorrow, I’d be as surprised as anybody else.”
There’s a good side and a bad side to this.
The bad side is that we can no longer view HuffPo as the exemplar of pitch perfect journalism and subjective integrity we’ve all come to view it as, lo these many months.
The good side is that we all get to continue speculating like mindless droids for another few weeks.
