Out with the old, in with the ... ?

Someone please tell me this headline is a typo: Obama team weighs Nunn, Edwards as running mates

Sen. Obama isn't seriously considering former Sen. Sam Nunn as his running mate is he?

When I first heard Nunn's name floated a couple of weeks ago I thought "this must be a joke." But now that his name keeps coming up it's become apparent that the joke may very well be on all of us!

Mr. "I'm going to change Washington" ... Mr. "Unity" ... Mr. "No-more-politics-as-usual" is seriously considering Sam Nunn? Good grief!

Nunn has not been in office for more than a decade so he is not well-known nationally. He is a conservative Democrat who supported school prayer and opposed gays in the military, while Obama tends to have a more liberal viewpoint. Nunn will turn 70 in September.
What, he couldn't bring Strom Thurmond back from the dead?
