"According to Newsweek's Howard Fineman, the prospects will know soon: They've been asked where they can be reached tomorrow afternoon."
Does this mean Obama will announce this decision early Friday morning?
This will be one of the latest VP picks before the convention correct?

We've known for days that Obama would be traveling in Virginia with Kaine on Thursday. It's no real "scoop" that he'll be staying at the Executive Mansion.
That said, Obama has events at John Tyler Community College in Chester and in Chesapeake tomorrow afternoon (at 4:30 in time for the 6:00 news cycle).
Consider the following:
I don't think the announcement comes at John Tyler:
- yes, Tyler was the last VP from Virginia, but...
- Tyler only became President because William Henry Harrison died after one month in office, earning Tyler the nickname "His Accidency."
- Tyler was a member of the Confederate House before he died.
If it's Kaine, the announcement comes tomorrow in Chesapeake. When the news of that event first leaked, the Obama campaign asked lefty bloggers to pull the announcement.
Kaine has held a "line of succession" meeting.
Main Street is apparently buzzing with Kaine rumors.
This morning in Martinsville in appearance with Mark Warner, Obama told the crowd "keep your cell phones on."
It appears that everything is pointing toward Kaine.
Call me skeptical. But it still could be a hugh smokescreen.
But, if it's not, I'm ready.

In that case...then its Pawlenty (sic) for McCain.

This is an eyebrow-raising development.

Kaine was my prediction a while back.
I hope I was wrong. Kaine’s media image (he just loves God don’t you know) is a good fit for Berry.
