Jim Webb coverage increasing

Looks like the news media are going to hype Jim Webb as Obama's VP for the next week or two. Here and here are articles. He's the current leader on Intrade by 5 points over Clinton, whatever that means. Of the candidate names thrown around so far I'd say he and Biden are the best bets. At the same time, Webb was a Republican not too long ago and who knows who Obama's real allies are? Also, Biden will be in his 70s by 2016--tough for his own pres campaign.
