And the scheduling is a bit odd.....why is the VP acceptance speech immediately following the vote? That means Cynthia McKinney (assuming she's nominated during that preceding hour) or her representatives have to make her choice known immediately following the presidential vote. I would think that, since she is obviously going to get the nomination, she would have made her choice known already.

How long the VP vote takes will depend on how many candidates there are, whether McKinney makes an endorsement, etc. If the choice were clear, it wouldn't take long. But will the choice be clear? Any ideas who the VP candidates will be? The vote for president shouldn’t take long at all since McKinney will have enough delegates to win on the first ballot.
