Jeralyn relays some unhappy news:

The Denver Post reports Sen. Ken Salazar will speak Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention, but he isn't the Veep pick.

Who's left? According to the Post, only those without a speaking slot at the Convention. That includes:

Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine,

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson,

Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana,

Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware and

former Georgia Sen. Sam Nunn.

With the (possible) exception of Richardson, I think all of those choices are unbearably sucky. Why oh why can't we have better Democratic presidential candidates?

(And no, Hillary fans, you won't convince me that Mrs. Clinton had a secret plan to make Russ Feingold her veep pick.)
