Pick the V.P.
Gov. Ted Strickland said that Sen. Hillary Clinton remains his first choice to be Sen. Barack
Obama's running mate, even though he doesn't think it's going to happen.
Instead, Strickland speculated yesterday that Obama will name either Delaware Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. or Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, and he said he would be satisfied with either one.
