And Now It Starts

It's as predictable as the rain. At the end of a presidential campaign, or, as of early Saturday afternoon, almost the end of this one, the really fun stories start to come out. What really happened. Why our candidate lost. It wasn't my fault...

I enjoy all the "inside baseball/process stories" we get to read after a campaign a lot more than some of the silly reporting that's done during the actual campaign, and today politico starts us off with a story saying that Mitt Romney came very close to selecting Chris Christie for VP. Really? What makes this article especially intriguing is that it comes on the heels of a week's worth of coverage of the post-Superstorm bromance between Republican Christie and the Democratic President. Did Mitt's head explode when he heard that Christie, up 'til now one of his best surrogates, was going around saying how great Obama is? Almost certainly.

The election will be over soon; dishing the dirt will go on for months. Now we're really getting to the good stuff.
