Waiting for Uncle Joe. Photo: Brendan Smialowksi/AFP via Getty Images The women who might become Joe Biden’s running mate entered their final week in contention without much of an idea of what that week would look like.
Still, the candidates didn’t know what the end of the process would look like beyond final interviews with Biden — some in person in Delaware — or precisely when the final word would come. But now, at least, the wait is almost over: The Biden operation is revving up for a series of public and private events featuring his choice leading into the convention week, aimed at introducing her to the public and to Biden’s top supporters.
For Rice, Obama’s first ambassador to the United Nations and then his national-security adviser, this has meant facing a surge of speculation about how Republicans would renew their fury and conspiracy theories over the Benghazi attack and also a Politico report about her personal investments, including a significant interest in the company in charge of the Keystone XL pipeline project.
And as the actual selection process itself has remained locked more tightly behind closed doors than usual, the theoretically behind-the-scenes jockeying from wannabe VPs has grown more overt. Biden allies have pressed him to consider their favorites, then haven’t even tried denying reports about their leanings.
That’s one reason the process has brought with it few surprises compared to previous ones — even those that ended with the obvious pick. Less than two weeks before Clinton put Tim Kaine on her ticket, for example, news broke that she was considering James Stavridis, a retired four-star Navy admiral who hadn’t been on any of the media longlists.
Lol
Could he pick Obama as VP?
Most of these links require a subscription so I'll just wing it, site unseen, by saying that calling the selection process a Hunt makes it 'an abnormal increasingly contentious process.' The truth is that choosing a suitable candidate for any position is a difficult undertaking.
In August... his confidence inspiring

Two women on Biden's VP list have a little-known advantage: Being Asian AmericanLargely overlooked in the public VP discussions, Biden's selection of a running mate with Asian American roots could appeal to growing populations in key states. Dems are obsessed with race. Bunch of racists. My choice would be 'Sen. Tammy Duckworth'. She not just Asian American, she's also a Veteran! CanisAzureus Judging people on the color of their skin. What's the term for that?
