Any significance to Pittsburgh tomorrow?

When my wife and I heard that Kerry was going to announce his veep choice in Pittsburgh, she asks me, "Wasn't Vilsack born in Pennslyvania?"

Why yes, Pittsburgh in fact.

Just now, while I am typing this, she asked, "Are there any 'meels' in Pittsburgh?" Ya know, 'meels' as in "My daddy worked in a meel all his life."

So, Pittsburgh. Does that mean Vilsack or Edwards? Or was Kerry going to be there anyway?

•  From There.....

  Drudge says that Kerry flies to Indianapolis after that -  and the Bayh staffer who was hired --
  is there a message in these details??

•  The significance of Pittsburgh

  It's where Teresa Heinz Kerry's estate is, and where they just had a 4th of July party.

•  Put it all together

  and they're deliberately muddying the waters, getting people like us speculating, and thus stirring up interest.

•  focal point

  Pittsburgh has been a focal point for the Kerry campaign.  In part to fight back against Bush who has been real active in Pittsburgh as well.  Media market hits three states too (WV, OH, and PA).  I noticed on Meetup.com that Kerry has very good numbers for Pittsburgh (but poor numbers overall - comparing to Dean who still has more signed up).

•  Seneca, South Carolina

  Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that Kerry's going to pick Edwards.  Would you expect the announcement to take place in Seneca, SC?  Or, maybe it would be in Raleigh, NC (just to make sure no one this side of 80 IQ would have any problem guessing who it's gonna be).

•  Didn't Nostradamus predict Hister resurrection

  ...in a land called Pissburg?

  Maybe Bush was onto something in that "Coalition of the Wild-Eyed" ad.

•  The surprise candidate's home town ....

  Heinz-Kerry.

  And yes, I'm kidding. I'm just giddy with all the speculation.

•  Wrong kinda "meels."

  Johnny and his daddy worked in textile meels, not steel meels. Don't you remember the mentions of lint puffs in the hair, the hair, the perfect hair?
