Dem VP Hopefuls Sited! The AP breathlessly coos

I was expecting paparazzi shots of Joe Biden coming out of Sushi Roku with his arm around Anna Ferris or something but instead I got this.

DEMOCRATS
_Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine visited George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where he watched his son participate in a Navy-Marine Corps ROTC program. Asked if he had signed up for the text message, Kaine said, "I haven't because I don't know how, but my son has."


_Sen. Joe Biden was at home in northern Delaware, where he met for about 30 minutes with his state director.

_Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius was in her office in Topeka, Kan., then left the Statehouse to address a meeting of Kansas AFL-CIO activists. She also planned to interview judicial candidates, meet with aides and prepare for the Democratic National Convention in Denver, her staff has said.

_Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh went to his twin sons' tennis camp in Washington and planned to return to his home in the District to spend time with his family, Bayh spokesman Eric Kleiman said.

_New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton toured the New York State Fair in Syracuse. The senator planned to head back to her Westchester County house without a public schedule, said Jay Biba, regional director of Clinton's central New York office. She declined to say whether she had heard from the Obama campaign.

_Texas Rep. Chet Edwards had lunch with his son in Waco.

So we have Kaine looking clueless about signing up for a text while watching his son do something for school (Do you really want the No.2 in line for the nuclear football to not know how to sign up for a text?) Biden and Sebalius are actually working and meeting with constituents. Bayh went with his sons to tennis camp. Hillary hung out at the State Fair and probably ate too much cotton candy and/or fried Twinkies. And Edwards had lunch.

Sigh, not a single drunken fist-fight with a paparazzo or coked-out car chase among them. I think the AP should leave the celeb-siting business to TMZ. I also love how they wrote Democrats up on the top like they would actually put the whereabouts of the Republican VP hopefuls. It is nice to see the AP still pretending to be unbiased.
