Obama Appears Ready to Announce His Running Mate By ADAM NAGOURNEY and JEFF ZELENY
WASHINGTON Senator Barack Obama has all but finalized his choice for a running mate and set an elaborate roll-out plan for his decision, beginning with an early morning alert to supporters, perhaps as soon as Wednesday, followed by a trip to swing states by the new Democratic ticket, aides said.
Mr. Obamas deliberations remain remarkably closely held. Aides said perhaps a half-dozen advisers were involved in the final discussions in an effort to enforce a command that Mr. Obama issued to staff: that his decision not leak out until supporters are notified.
Mr. Obama had not notified his choice or any of those not selected of his decision as of late Monday, advisers said. Going into the final days, Mr. Obama was said to be focused mainly on three candidates: Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana, Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia and Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware.

Take Tim Kaine.........Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze
I predict it will be Cesar Chavez
Too bad, I was actually looking forward to Lurch attempting a comeback on the national stage!!
Of course, Joe Biden could be an entertaining choice since we’d get to replay all of his “greatest hits” from plagiarism to praising Obambi as “clean and articulate”
'Cause you know it's going to happen, eventually.

This early announcement tells us...the Obama camp is trying to change the news cycle....after the disaster at Saddleback.
The only difference is the BS
Mugabe just fled Zimbabwe and is on his way to join Obama as his VP. Mugabe gives Obama, experience in the economy and foreign affairs as well as gravitas.

Evan Bayh, bought and sold.
Well,,,,a paper that is ‘in-bed’ with Obama most certainly WOULD know!!!
Bingo:) Because earlier today one of his people was on tv saying they would announce it early Friday- they know he’s imploding.

I think they would make a good team.
Has to do something to distract attention from his utterly disasterous showing at the Saddleback Church forum. Surprise he is waiting.
