Kudos to Salazar
By Wally EdgeAsked to comment on who he thinks should be U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) vice presidential pick, U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar (D-Denver) diplomatically replied that it's a "uniquely personal decision" for Obama to make.
It does no good to Obama when others weigh in with their preferences on who should be veep, as other Democrats have done. By comparison, Republicans have been considerably more disciplined in terms of keeping their mouths shut on the topic of McCain's vice presidential running mate.

Quote of the Day
"I need to listen to my constituents. I need to vote my district, my country, my conscience, and I need to keep in touch with [my constituents], to be honest about why I voted the way I voted, and to stay in touch, to listen, and solicit their feedback." - U.S. Representative-elect Betsy Markey (D) on what she will need to do to hold onto her seat in the district she defeated U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R) to represent earlier this month, which had been under Republican control since 1972.
