On July 23, 2008, Madison Powers predicted in CQ that Jack Reed (D-RI) would be the Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee. Sort of:

Add to that the fact that a modern vice president is likely to have a heavy hand in governing, it is consistency, not balance, that will determine the choices of both candidates. That is about as far as I will go with predictions (except to say that Reed is Obama’s best choice, but I am counting on you not to remember that I said that).
