I've criticized the press (and Obama's opponents) for frequently underestimating Barack Obama and his campaign, but now I think some may be overestimating him. I simply don't buy the conspiracy theory that Kaine has been hyping himself as a veep choice as a decoy for Obama to pick Kathleen Sebelius. I think the Obama campaign is smart, but not that smart. That's too clever even for them.
Do I have an explanation for all of Kaine's talking? No. My guess would be that either Obama is close to making his pick or Kaine just isn't playing his veep cards very well. If all this Kaine is buzz really is just a decoy, the Obama people are much smarter than even I give them credit for.
