Why haven't Obama and McCain chosen running mates?
Seems like they are waiting an awfully long time to do so. Election is in only 3 months.

Well, in days of old, they would have only been on the campaign trail for 3 months, while they spend the rest of their time doing what the people elected them to do.
Running mates are usually announced at the conventions.

It called the expectations game. Once you know your not so interested in knowing who it will be. 2nd if you chose right after your opponent announces you steal their thunder. McCain has the upper hand in this because you must announce your VP at the convention and the Republicans go last thus getting the upper hand and you will see right after Obama names his "safe" "white male" VP choice McCain will announce his of one more likely to be a minority like Louisiana's Governor Jindal or from one from a battleground blue state in hopes of a scoring that state just like Obama will try to score a state like Virginia or Indiana.

Obama and McCain are very careful in choosing their running mates in order to get more votes. This is the reason why they are not choosing their partners up to this time.

You made all solid possibilities, My decision would be bill Richardson for Obama. With McCain it particularly would not remember who will exchange into historic past's foot word, he isn't triumphing. For the sake of this question i think of he ought to choose a woman. Any woman, as I mentioned, it particularly would not remember. she can proportion her place in historic past with Geraldine A. Ferraro, an additionally run-vp candidate of yester-year.
