Palmetto Scoop: "A source inside the beltway informed me that high ranking officials throughout Virginia were recently summoned to the governor's office for an emergency meeting which reportedly involved discussions on the line of succession if and when Kaine steps down to become Obama's running mate."
Howard Fineman: "Within the last few hours I've spoken with two of the finalists for the role of Barack Obama's running-mate, and to two other sources who are close to the process. My bottom line is this: Barring a big surprise or last-minute change of heart, the choice is likely to be Sen. Joe Biden of Deleware, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee."
Marc Ambinder: "A reader writes: What about Jack Reed of Rhode Island? A friend there says the town is crawling with Secret Service and government plates. I don't know any better but to trust him."
Ben Smith: "I thought it would be useful to revisit the very small store of actual information, which is: Chris Dodd, Tim Kaine, and Tom Daschle have been vetted. Sam Nunn says he has not."
Lynn Sweet: "The Obama team... will showcase the new Obama ticket Saturday in Springfield at the Old State Capitol, where presumptive Democratic nominee... officially kicked off his campaign in February, 2007... This does not mean that this is the time and place where Obama announces his running mate; that could happen any time from Wednesday morning on."
Tribble Ad Agency: "Our sources work within an ad agency that is hired by the Obama campaign... It appears OBAMASEBELIUS.COM is owned by the Obama Campaign, and the 'hidden' registration will turn into a website after the announcement. Our lead noted that a site is already being designed .. and advertising agencies are always full of leaks."
Hope this helps you decide who the VP will be. BTW..does anybody really care who McCain's choice is? I mean...anybody other than all the news media? Really, is there even one tenth the buzz about McSame's choice of another dour old white man who wraps themselves up in Jesus' shroud and the "Amuricun" flag? Does anybody really care if it's the doltish Governor Tim Pawlenty, one of the people responsible for the Minnesota bridge collapse or Mitt Romney who lays people off and closes down businesses for a living? Rob Portman...who? Governor Bobby Jindal, the famed exorcist?
The Republicans made a bad choice for the top of their ticket and they'll make a pretty poor choice for the bottom of their ticket, too..now, when I say bottom, I mean "bottom" as in "bottom dweller"
